Recent reports showed that all-season tires typically last between 6 to 10 years, but not all brands have the same high quality. In addition, drivers sometimes buy “used but new” tires to save a buck or two when their tires are growing old. If you want to avoid a tire blowout, you should replace worn tires as soon as possible and keep an eye on your tire pressure.
Low tire pressure is one of the leading causes of tire blowouts. That’s because drivers simply may not realize that their tires are losing pressure, especially if you don’t have a warning indicator in your vehicle. Your owner’s manual has a recommended tire pressure for your vehicle. If it falls below 25 percent of this recommended level, you’ll likely get a flat tire or even a blowout.
