Life Of Tire

The service life of a tire is dependent upon varying

factors including, but not limited to:

• Driving style

• Tire pressure - Improper cold tire inflation pressures

can cause uneven wear patterns to develop across the

tire tread. These abnormal wear patterns will reduce

tread life, resulting in the need for earlier tire replace-

• Distance driven

• Performance tires, tires with a speed rating of V or

higher, and summer tires typically have a reduced

tread life. Rotation of these tires per the vehicle main-

tenance schedule is highly recommended.
