Tire mileage lifespan varies widely depending on the type of tire, driving conditions, maintenance, and tire quality. Here are the general ranges and factors:
- All-season tires typically last between 55,000 to 85,000 miles according to Consumer Reports' treadwear testing, with some top-rated models reaching up to 85,000 miles
. Other sources suggest a range of 30,000 to 60,000 miles for properly maintained all-season tires
- Performance tires generally wear faster, lasting around 50,000 to 85,000 miles , while ultra-high-performance tires may only last 25,000 to 30,000 miles or less
- Front tires on many vehicles may last about 20,000 miles , while rear tires can last up to 40,000 miles , though this varies with driving style and conditions
- On average, a good quality tire can last about 3 to 5 years or 60,000 to 75,000 miles , but this depends heavily on maintenance, driving habits, and road conditions
- Proper maintenance such as regular rotation, wheel alignment, and tire pressure checks can significantly extend tire life
- Aggressive driving, poor alignment, harsh road conditions, and neglect can shorten tire life considerably
In summary, most tires last between 30,000 and 85,000 miles , with many all-season tires averaging around 50,000 to 70,000 miles under good conditions and care. Performance and specialty tires tend to have shorter lifespans.
