What Factors Affect Tire Degradation?

It’s common for Murray drivers to ask, “how many miles should the tire last?” However, the real question is, “how many miles do tires last when properly maintained?” This all depends on the road conditions around your Mayfield area home and a wide variety of other factors. We’ve broken down some of the most common factors that affect a tire’s longevity for your convenience: 

  • Type of Tire: High-performance tires have extra grip but may wear faster than all-season tires, which have less rolling resistance.
  • Tread Wear Rating: Tires come with a tread wear rating, which rates the life expectancy of the tire treads.
  • Drivetrain: Tires wear differently on front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive vehicles, because of where the engine power is delivered and distributed.
  • Road Conditions: If you have to drive on gravel or dirt roads regularly, or you encounter construction, snow, salt, rain, and ice, your tires will take more of a beating. If you plan to use your vehicle for off-roading, this will make a big difference as well.
  • Terrain: If you live in an area with inclines on the roads, more friction on the tires is required to start and stop the vehicle than on flat surfaces.
  • Driving Habits: Having a lead foot on the gas and brakes will wear out your tires faster than accelerating gradually and letting coasting do some of the braking work.
