Tire Lifespan Calculator

Tire lifespan varies by type and conditions. Economy tires: 30,000-40,000 miles. Standard tires: 40,000-50,000 miles. Premium tires: 50,000-70,000 miles. Performance tires: 25,000-35,000 miles. Actual lifespan depends on driving habits, road conditions, maintenance (rotation, alignment), and tire pressure.

Tire lifespan is affected by: driving habits (aggressive acceleration/braking), road conditions (rough roads reduce life 20-30%), tire pressure (underinflation reduces life 10-20%), alignment and rotation (regular service extends life 10-20%), climate (extreme temperatures), and vehicle load (overloading reduces life).

Ideally, replace all four tires at once for even wear and balanced handling. However, if only one or two tires are worn, you can replace them in pairs (front or rear). Ensure matching tires on each axle. All-wheel drive vehicles typically require all four tires to be replaced together to prevent drivetrain damage.

Budget $400-$1,200 per tire set (4 tires) depending on vehicle type and tire quality. Economy cars: $400-$600. Mid-size vehicles: $600-$900. Luxury vehicles: $800-$1,500+. Tires typically last 3-5 years (40,000-60,000 miles), so annual tire cost is approximately $120-$400 for most vehicles.
