When to Replace SUV Tyres | Michelin Tyres

Refer to How many miles can I expect from an SUV tyre? for more information on driving variables and the impact on tyre life.

If you have been driving on the tyres for more than five years, it is essential to have them thoroughly checked by a professional at least once a year. Similarly, if the tyres are 10 years old, then we highly advise changing them for new ones. Despite the fact they may still appear in good condition to the untrained eye, as a precaution, it is crucial to replace them.

There are ways of maintaining your tyre tread, however. This includes:

Avoiding harsh accelerating and braking
Avoiding heavy cornering
Avoiding driving along kerb edges with forced contact and abrasion

Checking the load/speed description of the tyre to ensure you are driving within the relevant capabilities.
