Tires typically last 25,000 to 50,000 miles, but wear depends on driving habits, road conditions, and alignment. Check tread depth using the penny test: insert a penny into the tread with Lincoln's head upside down. If you see the top of his head, tread is too shallow-time for new tires.

Worn tires reduce traction, increase stopping distance, and raise the risk of blowouts. Replace them promptly for safety and performance.
