How many tires last?
Some tire experts contend that tires can last anywhere from six to ten years if they’re stored and cared for properly. We recommend replacing tires aged 6-10 years, no matter how much tread remains. When it comes to replacing tires, things can be a little unpredictable. A general recommendation is that your tyres are changed every 20,000 miles or every 10 years. However, they may need to be changed sooner than this if you notice any of the following: the tread is worn down. Cracks in the rubber.Most tyre manufacturers and safety organizations recommend replacing tyres that are six years old or older, regardless of tread depth. Even if your tyres are less than six years old, their lifespan can be affected by environmental conditions and your driving habits.
What is the 3 percent rule on tires?
The 3% rule states that when replacing tires, the new tire’s diameter should not differ from the original by more than 3%. This guideline helps maintain proper vehicle performance, safety system functionality, and speedometer accuracy. When changing tire sizes, we recommend staying within 3% of the diameter/height of the original tire. Any more than this and you face the risk of brake failure.
