How long should AT2 tires last?
Since the manufacturer offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty with the All Country AT2, it is expected that the tire should last at least this long in optimal driving conditions. The longevity of the model also depends on road conditions, driving style, and regular maintenance. Tire life is usually between 6–10 years. Typically, tires have a lifespan of 6 years in service or 10 years from date of manufacture, whichever comes first. Various factors can impact this general guideline.Properly stored tires can last several years, but many experts recommend replacing them six years after their production date, regardless of tread depth. Over time, tire rubber degrades even without use, so maintaining correct air pressure and storing them in airtight bags can help preserve their condition.While there’s no hard-and-fast rule, and no federally mandated safety guidance on when a tire should be (ahem) retired, many carmakers and experts advise replacement between five and six years from the manufacturing date.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. Mileage, condition and routine maintenance all contribute to the tire’s safety and usability. You should replace them if you think they may have compromised integrity.
Which is better, AT or HT tires?
AT tyres have a more aggressive and deeper tread than HT tyres, which gives them more traction for off-road driving. AT tyres are generally an ideal option for 4WD owners and weekend off-road enthusiasts thanks to their durability, longevity, and on- and off-road performance. Consistent Performance: Replacing all four tires ensures uniform tread depth, providing better grip and handling. This is particularly important for all-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicles, where mismatched tire tread can lead to uneven wear on the drivetrain.
