HOW LONG DO YOU RUN TIRES ON A VEHICLE?
- Thread starter mtnsmith
- Start date
Haven’t had a set of Michelin’s yet that I didn’t get 80k plus out of. A few sets could of gone a little further but I replaced them anyway. No point in pushing my luck. Rotate every other oil change and check tire pressure once a week. Run Michelin tires on everything I have owned.
We used to have that problem at our tire store. A little old man would come in and insist on getting Michelin’s because “nothing rides like a Michelin.” Well the little old man drives 8,000 miles per year and the tires are rated for 90,000 miles. Before he ever even makes it to half tread life the tires were dry rotted and unsafe.
Not sure what your point is^^^^CliffB. Never said I kept them for 8, 10, or 12 years. Mine would get changed out every 5 years or so give or take a month or two.
Internet Winner!!!!! First sign of cracking or when I touch the wear bars, they get replaced
Defensive much? Calm down and enjoy Christmas.
Good one you sure got me there lol
I replace my car / light truck tires when they need it due to excess wear, or dry rot.
Not based on some arbitrary age limit of 7 or 8 years or whatever.
Although most sets of tires get worn out in 50K to 65K miles, after only a few years, long before any dry rot or UV sunlight damage would be a concern.
