How Long Do Tires Last?
There’s so much history to appreciate around Arlington, Grand Prairie, and Fort Worth, Texas. To enjoy as many activities as you’d like, you need a vehicle with reliable tires that can stand the tests of time, terrain, and harsh weather conditions. That time frame is usually three to five years for most tires.
At BMW of Arlington, we’ve created this article to help you understand how long tires should last. Armed with this information, you’ll be better equipped to take care of your tires so they can meet and even exceed your expectations.
How Much Life Do Your BMW Tires Have in Them?
The average three to five years of life that you can get from a set of tires will vary greatly depending on several factors. For example, if you drive often, tackling a long commute in your BMW 7 Series sedan each day, your tires will wear quicker than those of someone who works from home and drives much less.
If you enjoy occasional guilty pleasures, like doing donuts in your Z4 or feeding your need for speed on the back roads, you’ll experience more wear than on the highway.
Do you like to take long drives south of the border or northward to ski in the mountains? The different weather patterns that you encounter will also affect your tires as the air or water around them cools or heats, causing cracking or expansion.
How Can You Maximize the Lifespan of Your Tires?
Routine maintenance is one of the best ways to ensure you get the most from your tires. Periodically investing a little time into tire service can save you lots more time in the long run, as you’ll likely have much less of a need for costly repairs.
Firstly, it’s smart to give your tires a look on a regular basis, like each time you stop to get gas. Glance quickly at each one and note the tread depths and inflation levels and look for signs of wear, like cracking.
Next, stop by our service center regularly for:
- Tire rotations
- Tire replacements
- Puncture Repair
Tire rotations help to balance the level of wear on tires that aren’t quite ready for replacement. Your tires will be repositioned so that those with similar wear are placed next to one another. With wear evenly distributed, your vehicle will maintain better traction.
