The two things that affect tires are time and mileage. Naturally, the compounds on tires have a limited lifespan as they begin to breakdown over time. The mileage on a tire is only a general indication of it’s wear and usage. Neither time nor mileage are accurate indicators of a tire’s usability. The reason for that is because factors such as tire storage and care can improve or diminish lifespan. Typically most tires are manufactured to last at least five years under normal circumstances. If your tires are older than 5 years, it may be a good idea to consider replacements.
Reading the sidewall and understand tire sizing options can seem difficult at first. Once you learn the basics of what these numbers and markings mean, it becomes much simpler. Oftentimes original equipment tires use standard sizing designations, such as 255/70R17. However, when upgrading tires, especially for Tahoe’s that are used for off-roading, you may come across flotation sizing designations. These will typically read as 35×12.50×17.
