How many years should SUV tires last?
Tire manufacturers recommend replacement at 10 years, regardless of tread depth. If you have an on-road SUV with a tire tread depth worn down to 1. Please consider that safe driving in wet and snowy weather conditions is affected by the tread depth, the pattern design and the rubber compound of the tread of your tires.
Why are SUV tires so expensive?
Premium tires are made with advanced materials, including specialized rubber formulations that provide excellent grip and performance. These materials are more expensive to buy and manufacture, increasing prices. Furthermore, employing high-quality materials increases the tire’s resilience to wear and tear. But tires aren’t cheap. Costs vary widely based on where you live, the type of tires you’re getting, how you’re getting them installed, and the quality of tires. J. D. Power estimates that you can find tires for as low as $100 each, but expect to pay closer to $200 per tire. It’s even more for performance tires.Cheap tires simply don’t last as long as premium tires. Some sources have reported that premium tires last 50,000 – 90,000 miles, while cheap tires only last 20,000 – 40,000 miles. This can mean you must change your tires about twice as often, completely negating the sticker price’s savings.
