How Many Kms Do Tires Last? | Mercedes-Benz Brampton in Brampton

What Factors Affect Tires Life Expectancy?

Georgetown drivers frequently ask us, “how many kms do tires last?”. While the general rule of thumb for how many kilometres tires should last is around 80,000 km, a number of factors can affect the lifespan of your tires include:

Type of tire: If you have high-performance tires, they’ll wear much faster than all-season tires because they’re grippier, which results in increased friction with the road.

Treadwear rating: Your tires have a treadwear rating with the most accurate estimate of how long they should last. This figure could be less than the average we previously mentioned.

Drivetrain: Tires wear differently on front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive vehicles, because of where the main power for forward motion comes from.

Road conditions: If you regularly drive on gravel roads or poorly maintained roads, or frequently drive on snow or ice, your tires will wear down faster.

Terrain: If you live in a hill country or mountainous region, frequent inclines mean your tires are getting exposed to greater friction, which will wear them down faster.

Driving habits: If you have a tendency to accelerate or brake abruptly, you’re going to wear your tires down faster.

How long do all-season tires last? With proper care and maintenance, you can expect 100,000kms, so please ask us if we have any all-season tires in stock.

Tire Care Tips To Increase Average Tire Lifespan

In addition to having more cautious driving habits, car owners in Halton Hills can increase the lifespan of their tires by following these steps:

Get in the habit of checking your tire pressure at the inflation stations when you get gas. This will help you make sure you’re always at optimal pressure.

Regularly inspect your tread depth.

Rotate your tires regularly. This helps to ensure that they wear evenly. If your car’s balance sags in one corner, that tire is going to take undue stress.
