of the tire you use is vital, as the material degrades with time. The rubber loses its elasticity, cracks, and separates from the steel cords, which can cause dramatic consequences. The aging process depends on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The type of tire<\/li>\n<li>Road texture<\/li>\n<li>Exposure to UV light, atmospheric compounds<\/li>\n<li>Frequency of use<\/li>\n<li>Quality of maintenance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s important to understand that the main factor that makes rubber age is oxidation. Sooner or later, it will make rubber too dry and unstable to be used.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_792\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-792\" style=\"width: 829px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.utires.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/1-rubber-oxidation-tire-aging.jpg\" alt=\"Rubber oxidation and tire aging\" width=\"829\" height=\"621\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-792\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nitrogen2go.com\/Rubber-Oxidation-Tire-Aging-Review.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.nitrogen2go.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Type_of_Tire\"><\/span>The Type of Tire<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Different types of tires will provide you with different durability. Off-road tires have stiffer sidewalls and are made from hard rubber, so they will provide a rather rough and noisy ride, but last longer. Whereas, high-performance and sports tires are made from softer rubber, so they will provide a high-quality ride but lower life expectancy.<\/p>\n<p>When you buy new tires for car and start using them, the rubber wears off by leaving some of the heavy particles on the road and some of the lighter in the air. Therefore, soft material will disappear faster, sacrificing itself to provide you with a good grip.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"UV_and_Atmosphere\"><\/span>UV and Atmosphere<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Due to excessive exposure to the sun, rubber is affected by photo degradation. All tires contain rubber compounds, and no matter whether they are natural or synthetic, polymers in them absorb UV radiation. Therefore, in hotter states, it\u2019s recommended to check tires frequently once they reach the age of 4.<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cman-made\u201d or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucar.edu\/learn\/1_7_1.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tropospheric ozone<\/a> is also destructive to rubber, making drivers buy new tires for car more often. Its impact was firstly noticed in the 1950s, as tires were deteriorating faster in Los Angeles than in smaller cities. The reason turned out to be the tropospheric ozone that is merged, due to emissions from burning gasoline and coal.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequency_of_Use\"><\/span>Frequency of Use<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Frequently used tires are less prone to aging as the pressure and motion make the oil move within the tire. While it circulates, the internal rubber is lubricated by the oil, preventing drying and cracking.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Quality_of_Maintenance\"><\/span>Quality of Maintenance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Mandatory maintenance procedures to be done:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tire balancing.<\/strong><br \/>\nBalance your tires after every impact, tire change, or tire rotation, if you want to buy new tires for car less often. This is done to achieve even load distribution, as well as for uneven wear prevention.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_794\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-794\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.utires.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/2-tire-inflation-300x263-300x263.png\" alt=\"Proper rire inflation\" width=\"300\" height=\"263\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-794\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image source: <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.firestonecompleteautocare.com\/driving\/tire-maintenance-basics-rotating-aligning-and-inflating-your-road-rubber\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/blog.firestonecompleteautocare.com\/<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li>\n<li><strong>Proper inflation.<\/strong><br \/>\nCheck inflation monthly, as air always escapes the tire to some extent. Plus, when you\u2019re driving, air heats and expands, and if the tire is overinflated, you may see first dry cracks earlier. Proper inflation will also help prevent uneven and premature wear, which reduces tire life.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cleaning procedures.<\/strong><br \/>\nCleaning procedures are crucial for slowing the aging process, as salt, dust, and lack of moisture, can make the rubber deteriorate faster.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mileage\"><\/span>Mileage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/id\/100587827\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">According to Jeff Allen from The Car Chasers<\/a>, average tires are designed to be driven for 50-60,000 miles (if not specialized), but they often don\u2019t reach the maximum. It\u2019s important to understand that the estimated mileage mentioned when you buy new tires for car may differ from the actual distance you will get.<\/p>\n<p>The mileage of a tire depends on:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The type of tire and vehicle<\/li>\n<li>Driving style<\/li>\n<li>Load and speed limits<\/li>\n<li>Tire rotation<\/li>\n<li>The speed the tire is driven at.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tire industry has improved significantly: in the 1970s, tires could last for 20,000 miles, and now some of the highly durable ones can last 80-100,000 miles.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Combination_of_Tire_and_Vehicle_Types\"><\/span>The Combination of Tire and Vehicle Types<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Different cars need different types of tires. If you have a sports car, ordinary all-season tires won\u2019t provide you with the type of ride you need. And vice versa, a regular car with a considerable load won\u2019t work for a long time with sports tires \u2013 they will wear within several thousand miles.<\/p>\n<p>Before you buy new tires for car, note the type of your vehicle and its purpose. If you have a sports car or sedan, you may aim for high speeds and seek good steering and grip. If you have a SUV or a pickup truck, you may need to go off the road, so you need durability and traction.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Driving_Style\"><\/span>Driving Style<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Features of one\u2019s driving style that may accelerate rubber deterioration:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Heavy car overload for long rides<\/li>\n<li>Exceeding maximum speed rating of the tires<\/li>\n<li>Hard cornering, braking, or acceleration<\/li>\n<li>Frequent potholes and bumps taken at high speeds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The rougher your driving habits are, the faster rubber scrubs off your tires. This usually takes at least 10,000 miles from each, making you buy new tires for car more often.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Load_and_Speed_Limits\"><\/span>Load and Speed Limits<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Overloading your car and driving at exceedingly high speeds can cause an irreparable damage or even an accident. The reason is that\u00a0overloading or\/and too high speeds make the tire exceed the maximum temperature it can withstand, which may cause tire failure.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tire_Rotation\"><\/span>Tire Rotation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Tire rotation will help you distribute the load and wear evenly on all tires, preventing the need to buy new tires for your car too early. Moreover, if your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.utires.com\/t\/temporary-spare\/\">used spare tire<\/a> is of the same qualities as the main set, it\u2019s recommended that you rotate all five. Thus, your estimated mileage of 40,000 will turn into at least 50,000, due to one more tire.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Driving_Speed\"><\/span>Driving Speed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>When vehicles are driven at high speeds, the tires heat up more than normally, which increases the tire wear. Jumping from 55 mph to 75 mph can cause the mileage to decrease by 20% or more. Going gradually won\u2019t help either; tires that would provide you with the tread life of 250,000 miles at 55 mph will have only 237,500 miles at 60 mph. 70 mph will reduce tire mileage to 212,500 miles, going to 200,000 at 75 mph.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_You_Can_Do_to_Increase_Tire_Lifespan\"><\/span>Things You Can Do to Increase Tire Lifespan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_891\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-891\" style=\"width: 278px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.utires.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/tire-pressure-sticker.jpg\" alt=\"Tire pressure sticker on door frame\" width=\"278\" height=\"195\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-891\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tire pressure sticker on door frame.

You can do it with a pressure gauge or a built-in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tire-pressure_monitoring_system\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tire pressure monitoring system<\/a> that is required in all US vehicles manufactured after Sept. 1, 2007. For the appropriate inflation rate, read the manufacturer\u2019s manual or tire information placard. It can improve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fueleconomy.gov\/feg\/maintain.jsp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the efficiency of fuel usage<\/a> by up to 3%. It also prevents uneven treadwear \u2013 a major factor as to why you may have to buy new tires for car.Remember that the inflation has to be done when tires are cool, and the rate doesn\u2019t have to go to the maximum standard. The reason is that the air is heating and expanding when you drive, so inflating to maximum can cause over-inflation.<\/li>\n<li><strong><strong>Rotating the tires.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_796\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-796\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.utires.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/4-tire-rotation-pattern-300x211-300x211.jpg\" alt=\"Tire rotation patterns\" width=\"300\" height=\"211\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-796\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tire rotation patterns.

Neglecting to balance tires in time can also cause tire blowout, excess fuel use, etc. Before getting your vehicle to a professional examination, check whether the tire is out of balance by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Looking if there\u2019s any imbalance in sight<\/li>\n<li>Going for a quick straight ride, and feeling whether there is an unusual tilt<\/li>\n<li>Checking the treadwear \u2013 if the tire is out of balance, you will notice uneven wear.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Not allowing excessive UV and ozone exposure.<\/strong><br \/>\nWeather can damage the rubber, it loses the elasticity needed to hold on to the wheel and perform its functions. So, it\u2019s recommended to store vehicles somewhere with limited or no sun and ozone exposure. There are special <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.usstoragesearch.com\/self-storage-moving-advice\/storage-advice\/vehicles-need-climate-controlled-storage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">climate-controlled garages<\/a> that help decrease the factors that make drivers buy new tires too often.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Washing the tires.<\/strong><br \/>\nIt\u2019s important that you <a href=\"http:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/how-to-clean-and-shine-your-tires\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">clean your wheels and tires properly<\/a>, using the right products and brushes. Simple rules like changing the water you wash and rinse the tire with, and clea \u00a0 \u00a0ning the brushes after every washing round, work perfectly. Some also recommend avoiding special protectors, as they may remove the needed oil from the rubber, thus decreasing the tire lifespan.

It\u2019s easy to spot by running your hand all the way through the tread. The most common reason for feathering is a wrong toe-in setting.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cupping.<\/strong><br \/>\nThis appears on one side of the tread, usually because of bent suspension parts. Any of the parts can cause the problem, so it\u2019s recommended to check the whole system.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Second-rib.<\/strong><br \/>\nThis type of wear usually appears on radial tires, and many manufacturers consider minor wear in those places normal. However, if the tire isn\u2019t properly inflated, second-rib wear can become an issue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you notice any of these, buy new tires for car as soon as possible, as such damages can cause sidewall blowout, tread or cord separation, etc. They often result in steering loss and accidents, which can total other tires and the vehicle, not to mention they can hurt the driver and passengers.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tread_Depth\"><\/span><em>Tread Depth<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The legal minimum for tire tread is 2\/32\u2019\u2019, but minor steering difficulties on wet roads can be noticed when there\u2019s 4\/32\u2019\u2019 tread left. If the tire isn\u2019t replaced in time, the traction with the road becomes worse and it\u2019s easy to lose control of the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>When you buy new tires for car, they have about 9-11\/32\u2019\u2019of protective tread on them, which is put there to improve traction by diverting water from underneath. For a perfectly dry road, tire tread may seem an obstacle, as it reduces the contact patch area. The latter is the part of the tire\u2019s surface that actually contacts the road, and it\u2019s usually about an average palm-width. Nevertheless, tread is fully responsible for steering, turning, and braking on even slightly wet surfaces.<\/p>\n<p>Consider purchasing a pair or a whole set when it\u2019s time to buy new tires for car. The reason is that there\u2019s a difference in new and worn tire performance, as a pair with the 10\/32\u2019\u2019 right and 5\/32\u2019\u2019 left can cause loss of control.<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ways_to_Check_Treadwear\"><\/span>Ways to Check Treadwear<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>There are several ways to check whether you need to buy new tires for car:<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_799\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-799\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.utires.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/7-tire-tread-test-penny-300x201.jpg\" alt=\"The tire tread depth penny test\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-799\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image source: <a href=\"https:\/\/nbainsurance.com\/skidding-hydroplaning-and-do-you-need-new-tires-take-the-penny-test\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">nbainsurance.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A penny test.<\/strong><br \/>\nTake a penny and insert it upside down into one of the tread grooves.

Once you notice that your tread has reached that level, you should buy new tires.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A treadwear gauge.<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is a special instrument that shows you exactly how much rubber you have left.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Unusual_Vibration\"><\/span><em>Unusual Vibration<\/em><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Unusual vibration can be a result of wheel misalignment, tire imbalance, shock absorbers malfunction, and many other reasons. The damage can be hidden inside the tire, and internal issues may be extremely difficult to detect.<\/p>\n<p>Some vibration is inevitable when you\u2019re driving, but if it becomes too strong or has abnormal patterns, it\u2019s time to check the vehicle and probably buy new tires for car. Even if the problem was initially not with the tire(s), it\/they could have been damaged by excessive shaking.<\/p>\n<p>If the initial problem seems to be in the tire, the greatest possibility is that it\u2019s improperly balanced. One of the most noticeable symptoms of the issue is vibration and shaking that becomes worse at higher speeds. Usually, the starting speed at which you can feel the vibration is 45-50 mph, but it depends on the size of the tires, the vehicle, sensitivity of suspension, steering, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Even \u00bc of imbalance can cause unusual vibrations, so once you buy new tires for car and mount them, make sure they are perfectly balanced.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tire_Aging_Problem_Awareness\"><\/span>Tire Aging Problem Awareness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The problem of rubber aging was firstly addressed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.safetyresearch.net\/tire-safety\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">back in the 1990s<\/a>. The first organization to say that there are limits to the operable age was the British Rubber Manufacturers Association (BRMA). In June, 2001, they recommended that drivers shouldn\u2019t mount tires that are 6+ years old, and that all tires had to be replaced after they turn 10 years.<\/p>\n<p>Another organization to bring tire aging awareness was the Japan Automobile Tire Manufacturers Association. In May, 2005, they introduced a practice of inspecting tires annually after 5 years of usage. They also encouraged drivers not to mount tires that are 10 years old or more, and to buy new tires for car even if the old rubber seems to be usable.<\/p>\n<p>Some European tire manufacturers for sport cars, which can travel at high speeds for a long time (like on the German Autobahn), say that a 6-year age is the maximum. Even though there is no German Autobahn in the USA, major companies like Ford Motor Company and General Motors also recommend replacing Original Equipment tires after 6 years.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_800\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-800\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.utires.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/8-tire-date-code-300x251-300x251.jpg\" alt=\"A date code on a tire\" width=\"300\" height=\"251\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-800\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A date code on a tire<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It\u2019s important to remember that Original Equipment items start their service right after the vehicle manufacturer receives them.
