The more you drive around Michigan, the more your Lincoln tires will wear down, and the closer they will get to needing to be replaced. How many miles should tires last before they need to be replaced? On average, most tires usually last around 50,000 miles before they need to be replaced, but this number can vary depending on what kind of vehicle you drive and your specific driving habits. While your tires will eventually need to be replaced, you can learn some tips that can help you get the most out of your tires before then with the service team at Morrie's Grand Ledge Lincoln. Take a look at our guide to see how you can keep your tires rolling for as long as possible before you have to replace them. 

What Causes Tires to Wear?

How many miles should your tires last? Depending on how often your Lincoln tires hit the Grand Ledge roads as well as what kinds of driving habits you have, your tires could wear down faster than normal. Here are some things that can cause your tires to wear down and deteriorate:

• Tire Type: Tires that are made for high-performance vehicles tend to have better grip, but they tend to also wear down faster than all-season tires, which have less rolling resistance. 
• Treadwear Rating: The treadwear rating on your tires tells you how long you can expect your tires to last before they need to be replaced. 
• Drivetrain: FWD, AWD, and RWD tires will wear down at different rates since the power is distributed to the tires in different ways depending on the drivetrain.
• Road Conditions: Driving on gravel, dirt, snow, salt, rain, ice, or other kinds of rough road conditions, then your tires will wear down faster than normal. 
• Terrain: Roads with inclines require more friction from the tires to move the vehicle forward and bring the vehicle to a stop compared to flat roads. 
• Driving Habits: Accelerating too fast or slamming on the brakes will wear out your tires faster than if you were to gradually increase your speed and come to a gradual stop.

How to Make Your Tires Last Longer

How can you get more out of your Lincoln tires? Whether you do a lot of driving around East Lansing or just want to make your daily commutes more efficient, here are some things you can do to increase the lifespan of your tires:

• Make sure that your tires have the right amount of air pressure. Your tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) should alert you if your tire pressure is low. 
• Have your tires inspected for tread depth, which can tell you how much they've been worn. 
• Regularly rotate your tires. 
• Be sure to keep up with your vehicle's recommended maintenance schedule.
