Tyres are expensive — so making them last longer is smart driving. Here are the most effective ways to get maximum mileage out of every set.
The average set of tyres lasts between 20,000 and 50,000 miles depending on driving style, maintenance, and road conditions. Keeping your tyres properly inflated is the single biggest factor in longevity — under-inflation causes rapid shoulder wear while over-inflation causes centre wear. Regular rotation, alignment checks, and avoiding kerbing all add thousands of miles to tyre life.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Keep pressure at the manufacturer's recommended level
- Rotate front and rear tyres every 6,000 miles
- Get a wheel alignment check annually
- Avoid sharp braking and harsh acceleration
- Don't park with wheels turned hard against kerbs
