If lifespan is your main focus, make sure you know what to look for when purchasing a tire. New tires have a tread life rating located on the sidewall. Typical tread wear ratings range from about 200 to 400, with a higher number indicating longer life.  When comparing tires, say a group of performance tires, a higher number may clue you into a longer expected life.

If you spend a lot of time making smoke, laying rubber, and sliding around the track you will obviously shorten the life of your tires. Likewise, going off-road can damage the sidewalls and cut your tires. Tire life expectancy ratings are based on normal driving practices so don't be surprised if your spirited driving brings you into Top Shop for a new set of tires.

Tire maintenance plays a big factor in tire life expectancy. Maximizing tire life means keeping your tires properly balanced, rotating them on a regular schedule, and making sure they are installed correctly when purchased. Worn suspension components can also cause premature tire wear.  If you want to get the most mileage out of your tires make sure you take care of them properly.

There is no easy answer when it comes to tires life expectancy, but normal driving and proper maintenance can make all the difference.
