Do cheap tires last as long as expensive tires?

Answer 1

Nope, it depends on the mileage rating of the tire and how often you rotate them.

Answer 2

I went 90,000 miles on my OEM Goodyear Eagle GT+4 tires.... I think they were $140 each. They were bald Eagles at the end. Haha, get it?

Price really has nothing to do with it..... you have to look at the threadwear on the side of the tire. The higher the number, the longer it'll last. Usually, the expensive tires don't last as long because they sacrifice threadwear for better grip and handling.

NSX uses tires that barely last 10,000 miles but are expensive as hell.

Answer 3

It depends. Sometimes some tires are more expensive just because they are brand name, so don't get caught up in that. Ask the retailer to let you know how much mileage your getting out of each set of tires don't go just by brands. Many retailers have their own brand name tires made by other bigger companies and it's basically the same tire it just has a different name on the side. You get the same quality for a cheaper price.

Answer 4

definite and no; some are properly well worth the money and some are literally not. relies upon on what you desire - tires have some variability like: a million. a lot less noise or more effective noise 2. Softer holiday or harder holiday 3. more effective mileage or a lot less mileage. 4. Low professional or popular driving 5. All climate or traveling? call has a lot less to do with it as adversarial to what you're desiring from the tires. when you're literally not a heavy driver and opt to get to indicate A from factor B, then customary, more cost-effective tires are merely fantastic.

Answer 5

performance (ultra sticky) tires do not last long. performance tires are usually expensive. For instance, the Bridgestone Potenza S-03 Pole Position will last you about 10K miles. If you get grand touring tires, they will last longer than performance tires and grip the road very well. For instance the Bridgestone Turanza LS-V, they are ultra sticky and have long tread life, but they will cost you.

If you are just looking for tires with a long tread life, you will have to look at the grade.

Answer 6

Usually not. Yeah, name brand tires like Kelly, Goodyear, Michelin, Bridgestone, etc. cost more than the off-brand names, but almost all of them come with a tread life guarantee of at least 60,000 miles (some have a 100,000 mile guarantee). It's worth it to shop around a bit and see what you can get. Goodyears for my car would have cost me over $600.00, but I got a set of Kelly tires for $400.00 with a 60,000 mile guarantee and the road hazard warranty package (rotate tires for free, fix flats for free, if a tire has to be replaced they pro-rate the cost based on how much tread life the "bad" tire has on it).

Answer 7

Cheap tires actually are made of harder rubber compunds, so they may last longer but they will prob. dry and crack. More expensive tires are designed for performance and grip, softer rubber. The cheaper the lower the quality of rubber, the harder and bit dryer rubber.

Answer 8

front tires depend on alignment
rear tires depend on driver acceleration
check for quality tires at a cheap price
