How long will Bridgestone tyres last?
Bridgestone, following industry standards, recommends that tires be removed from service no more than ten (10) years after the date of manufacture. To determine your tires age just look at the DOT stamping on the sidewall. At the end of the DOT stamping there will be a 4-digit number. This is the date code. Bridgestone recommends that tires more than 10 years old should be taken out of service and replaced with new tires. Be sure to check your spare tire and replace it if it is more than 10 years old, even if it appears new.
What is the best time of year to buy tires?
Early fall and late spring tend to be good times to purchase new tires, as many retailers discount old stock to make room for new models. During major holidays—such as Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, and Labor Day—some tire retailers may also have sales. The best time to buy tires is in March-April and October-November, due to seasonal sales and manufacturer rebates. Planning ahead unlocks better pricing, broader inventory, and the ability to choose tires that truly fit your driving needs.

Do I need tire rotation every oil change?
Recommended Tire Rotation Schedule A good rule of thumb is to schedule a tire rotation with every other oil change. However, the exact interval depends on your specific vehicle and driving habits. On rear-wheel and front-wheel drive vehicles, tire rotation must be performed every 8,050-11,000 kilometres. Make sure to consult your owner’s manual for an exact interval. When performing an FWD tire rotation, remember to flip sides when moving the rear tires.
