How often should I change my car tires?
I am a new car owner and want to make sure I’m on top of my car maintenance. How often should you change your car tires?
Nick Kunze · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Good question ! The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recommends changing your car tires at least every six years.
However, most tires will have a recommended replacement window based on miles. Modern tires can last anywhere between 25,000 and 80,000 miles.
Plus, if there’s a specific issue, you should get the tire replaced, regardless of how long you’ve had it on your car. These issues include:
- Excessive, noticeable wear and tear
- Decreased traction on the road
- Worsened braking and steering
Plus, any punctured, slashed, or flat tires should be replaced.
