The average lifespan of a bicycle tire, whether it is a road racing tire or a mountain bike tire, is 3,000-4,000 mileage. That said, there are signs of replacement that matter much more than the number of miles you ride such as no available tread, wear and tear, rubber cracks, sidewall cuts and low performance.We recommend replacing tires aged 6-10 years, no matter how much tread remains.
