If you're like most drivers, generally, nobody thinks about tires until they start to go flat. Though you know that tires also have a limited lifespan and that it's crucial to replace them before they wear out? Tires need to be in good condition to operate your car safely.
Same Day Auto Repair is a professional tire shop in Bixby. We help you determine how long tires last and when you replace them.Tire's expiration date
Tire manufacturers generally put a treadwear warranty on tires. This means that tires will have a certain amount of miles to be driven before needing to be replaced. It doesn't mean the tire can't be used after that point. The actual lifespan of your tires depends on the below factors:
How and where you drive
The type of car you have
The type of tires you have
The inflation pressure of your tires
The weight of your car
Your driving habits
Basic recommendations and maintenance:
Tread:
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) advised that the tire is deemed hazardous and should be replaced when its tread has been worn down to 2/32 of an inch.
Pressure:
Inflating or deflating your tires can decrease lifespan and create unsafe driving conditions. The pressure should be set at the manufacturer's recommended level.
Balance and alignment:
The tire or wheel assembly should be balanced. We use a balance machine to check for any car's wheels imbalances. Then the wheel is taken to correct the problem if an imbalance is found. You need to have your tires balanced and aligned if your car pulls to one side while driving.
Maintaining your tires is essential for keeping your car safe and prolonging its lifespan. Make sure to tread depth, balance, pressure, and alignment regularly. Tires must be replaced every six years, but it may depend on your driving conditions.
