What Factors Affect Tire Life Expectancy? 

The questions: “How many miles do tires last?” and “ How many miles should tires last” have different answers. This depends on multiple factors affecting your Bolingbrook drives:

• Tire Type: High-performance tires have extra grip but can wear faster than all-season tires which have less rolling resistance. 
• Treadwear Rating: All Mitsubishi tires come with a treadwear rating, which rates the life expectancy of your tire treads.
• Drivetrain: Tires will wear differently, depending on if you have a rear-wheel drive, front-wheel drive, or all-wheel drive vehicle. This is due to where the main power for your vehicle’s forward motion comes from.
• Road Conditions: If you are driving on dirt or gravel roads, or you encounter snow, salt, rain, ice, and construction, your tires will take more of a beating. 
• Terrain: If you live in an area with more road inclines, more friction on your tires is required to start and stop the vehicle than on flat surfaces. 
• Driving Habits: Having a lead foot on the brakes and gas pedals will wear out your tires faster than accelerating gradually and letting coasting do some of the braking work.

Tire Care Tips For Long-Lasting Tires
