What Factors Affect Tires Life Expectancy?

The answer to the questions “How many miles should tires last” and “How many miles do tires last” may have different answers, depending on the following:

• Treadwear rating: Your tires come with a treadwear rating, which rates the expected length of life expectancy of the treads.
• Type of tire: High-performance tires provide extra grip but may wear down faster than all-season tires, which have less rolling resistance.
• Drivetrain: Tires wear down differently on FWD, RWD, and AWD vehicles due to where the main power of forward motion comes from.
• Driving habits: Stomping hard on the gas and brakes will wear out your tires faster than accelerating and slowing gradually.
• Road conditions: If you drive often on gravel or dirt roads around Milledgeville, or you drive a lot in construction zones, snow, rain, salt, or ice, your tires will wear out faster. Also, off-roading beyond Macon takes its toll on tires.
• Terrain: If you live in an area with many hills, more friction on the tires is needed to start and stop your vehicle than on flat surfaces.

Tire Care Tips For Long-Lasting Tires

In addition to driving more cautiously, there are a few other things Gray drivers can do to extend the life expectancy of their tires:

• Check your air pressure when you fill your gas tank, and fill them to the optimal level.
• Take your new Hyundai in for regularly scheduled maintenance.
• Regularly check your tire tread depth for tire tread wear.
• Rotate your tires regularly for more even distribution of tire wear.
