- Passenger car tires: Most passenger car tires should be replaced around 50,000 to 60,000 miles (80,000 to 97,000 kilometers).
- Light truck and SUV tires: Light truck and SUV tires may last longer, with a recommended replacement mileage of around 60,000 to 75,000 miles (97,000 to 121,000 kilometers).
- Performance tires: Performance tires, which are designed for high-speed driving, may have a shorter lifespan and may need to be replaced more frequently, around 20,000 to 30,000 miles (32,000 to 48,000 kilometers).
It's important to note that these are just general guidelines, and the actual replacement mileage may vary based on factors such as:
- Driving conditions: Tires wear out faster in harsh conditions such as extreme heat or cold, rough roads, and frequent braking and acceleration.
- Vehicle weight and usage: Heavier vehicles and those that are used frequently for towing or carrying heavy loads may wear out tires faster.
- Tire maintenance: Proper tire care, including regular inspections for wear and tear, proper inflation, and wheel alignment, can extend tire life.
Therefore, it's always best to refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for the specific tire replacement recommendations provided by the manufacturer. Additionally, it's a good practice to visually inspect your tires regularly and have them inspected by a qualified tire professional at least once a year to ensure their safety and performance.
