How Often Should I Replace My Car’s Tires?

September 15, 2017/in Uncategorized/by damg

When was the last time you took a good look at your vehicle’s tires and assessed their remaining tread depth? Since your car’s tires are in direct contact with the road, they play a significant role in protecting your family’s safety, but it’s easy to overlook their wear and tear until you get a flat or have to break suddenly and end up skidding across the pavement.

According to Michelin, a variety of factors can affect how quickly you wear down your car’s tires and, subsequently, how often you need to replace them. These factors include your driving habits, the climate in which you live, the kind of tires on your car, the road conditions, and how often you perform regular vehicle maintenance.

When you make it a point to maintain your vehicle, you are not only protecting yourself and your passengers, but you are also protecting the lives of everyone on the road around you. Unfortunately, you cannot rely on other motorists to abide by this same duty of care.

If you were in a collision with someone in a poorly maintained vehicle and you want to pursue compensation for the damages you incurred, contact Jeffrey E. Estes & Associates. Attorneys Jeffrey E. Estes and Alton J. Smith have been litigating personal injury cases on behalf of California residents for almost three decades. Call 855-290-8080 to schedule a free case evaluation with an injury attorney in San Diego.

How Often Should I Replace My Car’s Tires?

According to Kelley Blue Book, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recommends all motorists replace their tires every six years, regardless of how many miles they have driven. Most tires have a standard lifetime of between 25,000 and 50,000 miles, but since the actual materials that tires are made of degrade over time, you should replace yours after six years even if you have driven less than 25,000 miles on them.

It is important to note that you may need to replace your tires more frequently than every six years. For example, if you often travel on rough road surfaces or take corners quickly and brake hard when driving, your tires will wear down faster.

How Often Should I Check My Tire Pressure?

You should aim to check your tire pressure at least once a month. Since the volume of air inside a tire can essentially change whenever the temperature does, it is especially important to keep an eye on your tire pressure around the change of seasons, when temperatures can fluctuate dramatically from week to week.

How Often Should I Rotate My Tires?

Rotating your car’s tires periodically will increase their lifespan and ensure they each wear down evenly for optimum performance. Every automotive manufacturer has their own recommendations regarding tire rotation frequency, but in general, you should plan on rotating your tires every six months or every 6,000 to 8,000 miles.

If you were hurt in a rear-end collision because the motorist behind you was driving on bald tires, contact Jeffrey E. Estes & Associates.
