How Often Should You Replace Your Tires?

Regularly replacing your tires is crucial to maintain your vehicle’s safety and performance. Tires naturally wear down over time due to factors such as individual driving habits, road conditions, and tire quality. Generally, experts recommend that you replace your tires at a minimum of every six years and no later than ten years - even if they appear to be in good condition. However, it might be necessary to replace them sooner. Here are some telltale signs that it’s time to replace your tires:

Tread Wear: Over time, tires naturally lose their tread, which impacts how well they grip the road and can affect your control. You can check the tread depth of your tires with a tread depth gauge or use the penny test (insert a penny with Abraham Lincoln’s head upside down—if you can see the top of his head, the tread is too low). If the tread depth is less than 2/32 of an inch, it’s time to replace your tires.
Age of the Tires: Even if your tires appear to have plenty of tread left, the rubber can deteriorate over time. If your tires are six to ten years old, you might want to think about replacing them, even if they are not showing visible signs of damage.
Cracked or Damaged Sidewalls: Visible cracks, bulges, or cuts in the sidewalls are signs that the tires are weakening, which could lead to a blowout. Act quickly to address this issue before you find yourself in a dangerous situation.
Frequent Flat Tires: If you’re getting flat or deflated tires more often, it could be a sign that your tires have worn out and are no longer holding air properly. While flat tire repair can provide temporary solutions, if the problem is recurring it might be time for replacement - especially if you’re noticing large punctures or multiple issues in the same area.
Signs of Imbalance: If your vehicle is out of alignment, your tires might wear out unevenly or more quickly than expected. Excessive vibration or a loud, uneven ride could indicate that your tires are out of balance or that there are internal defects to worry about. You might also notice uneven tread wear (such as more wear on one side of the tire, which can be a sign of an alignment or suspension issue. Addressing the issue and replacing your tires can help your vehicle function more efficiently.

By keeping an eye on any warning signs, you can keep your tires in optimal condition. Regular tire checks and replacing them when necessary will help prevent accidents, enhance your vehicle's performance, and extend your vehicle’s lifespan.

Longest lasting tire on my 4X4 vans. Michelin has the best tires if I take care of them. It's not the best in mud or snow however it sure does well in my off highway application. Mahalo Michelin

These came on my 2018 Tundra. Nearing 75,000 miles and still have plenty of tread left! 4 wheel and snow handling is great for a AT tire. Tow a 6,000 lb and 8,000 lb trailer just fine. I've been through a lot of truck tires...these have been the best!

After only 25,000 kms these tires started to show excessive wear. I take care of my tires and rotate every 5K, so this is just not acceptable considering what you pay for the name. We used Michelin exclusively for our fleet at work for years and had no issues until the last 5 years. It is the same for several of my friends who have purchased new trucks with these tires being OEM. The tread is way to soft or something. Michelin is just a name now, there are much more affordable options out there that will outlast and outperform. Also surprisingly lackluster performance in snow/mud.

Do not buy this tire if you have a 3/4 ton truck or higher. Premature dry rot in sidewalls and excessive tread wear.

Tires have worn well but in a year and a half I’ve had 10 flats. Gravel roads destroy these things. Hold my breath while driving on these. They’re quiet, but just way too whimpy to be a contender in the off road tire market.

Quiet ride and long lasting tread wear. Excellent stability and traction. Only the wet traction could be improved. This is my fourth set on a truck with 336k miles. Hoping truck lasts long enough to need another set!

Closing in on 75K miles and 8 years on these beauties on my Super Duty Crew. Still have a full 3/16" of tread. Will buy a new set in the spring. Kept them rotated & balanced every 10K. Tire excellence!

I have 115,000 Miles on the Michelin LXT AT2 tires. I ran them fine in the last Minnesota winter. These have been the best tire I have owned. They plow through snow, not bad on ice, stop on a dime on pavement or gravel. On gravel you have good control and grab and you do not get thrown around as much as the LTX MS.(Also good) The LTX AT2's are excellent in Rain. I have been through moderate mud 6" deep, no problem. These ties are quiet even though I have 115,000 miles on them. I cannot think of anything negative about the tires. If you want a great tire, this is it, and worth every penny.

I bought these tires between the 2009 - 2010 time frame. These tires surpass all other All Terrain tires that I've owed. They out perform the BFG's that I had on my truck hands down. My next truck will have a set of these A/T2's. Sincerely, JT

Don't know where to begin. Best tires ever. Rain, mud, snow, ice, towing a heavy load they never missed a beat over 80,000 miles on this set. I didn't rotate them at all. 4th winter season they've seen. Just now considering replacing them.

I purchased these tires for my Explorer and had 60,000 KM on them when I sold the Explorer and they still had lots of tread on them and they were handling the road conditions as if they were new. I will buy them again when I need new tires for my other vehicles.
