How long do tyres last?
Expected lifespan for tyres
Due to tyre quality, driving habits, and maintenance, the lifespan varies considerably.
Mileage estimates:
Age limit
No matter how much tread is left, manufacturers suggest replacing tyres 5-6 years from the date of manufacture. Even tyres that have not been used degrade due to heat, ozone, and UV light exposure, and rubber compounds deteriorate over time. The maximum age limit is 10 years.
What affects lifespan
Lifespan is affected by tyre pressure, wheel alignment, driving habits, and the quality of the roads. However, maintaining proper wheel alignment and properly inflated tyres will have the biggest impact on extending their life.
