How to get the most out of your tire

The estimated lifespan of a tire can vary depending on several factors, such as the type of tire, driving conditions, and maintenance. On average, a tire can last for around 50,000 miles before you need to replace it.

1. Check tire pressure regularly: Proper tire pressure ensures that the tires wear evenly and prolong their life.

2. Rotate the tires: Tires wear unevenly depending on the position they are in, so rotating them every 5,000-7,000 miles will ensure that the treads wear evenly.

3. Maintain the wheel alignment and balance: Misaligned or unbalanced wheels can cause uneven wear on tires and shorten their lifespan.

4. Avoid overloading the vehicle: Overloading the vehicle can cause excessive stress on the tires, leading to premature wear. 5. Properly store tires: When storing tires for an extended period, avoid exposing them to direct sunlight or extreme heat, and keep them properly inflated.

Tire Dry Rot can be a Killer

Tire dry rot is a condition that occurs when tires are older or are not used for an extended period of time, causing the rubber to deteriorate and crack. The primary danger of tire dry rot is that it can lead to tire failure, which can be dangerous while driving. The cracks in the tire can cause air to leak out, which can result in a blowout or flat tire. This can be especially hazardous at high speeds or in wet or slippery conditions. It is essential to regularly inspect your tires for signs of dry rot and replace them if necessary to ensure your safety on the road.

It’s important to check your vehicle’s tires for signs of dry rot. Dry rot is a common problem that occurs when tires age and become brittle and cracked due to weather and oxidation. It can compromise your vehicle’s ability to stop and steer, leading to potential safety risks on the road.

According to tire experts, tires can develop dry rot as early as six years after manufacture, regardless of use or mileage. It’s important to regularly inspect your tires for signs of dry rot, including cracks and dryness on the sidewalls and tread. Bulges or bubbles may also indicate the risk of a blowout.
