How often should 205 55R16 tires be replaced?
The short answer: most tires should be replaced every 6 years or 50,000–60,000 miles. But that number can vary based on the type of tires, how you drive, and where you live. Mileage: many standard all-season tires last between 50,000–60,000 miles. High-performance or off-road tires usually wear out sooner. 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.
What is the maximum age of tires?
Tires have a maximum life of ten years with some manufacturers suggesting much less. However, most will not last for nearly this long before needing to be replaced due to natural damage. It’s important to maintain your wheels and know how to recognize when it’s time to replace your 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.
