I have about 30, thousand miles on my 2007 scion TC, how many miles should I replace my tires? people told me you should replace them at 40, thousand is this true?

 

You replace them when they are worn. It's hard to determine how long tires should last because of
many factors; local road conditions, how you drive your car, weather, etc. And since our cars are FWD,
you should have to replace the front tires (or all 4 tires if properly rotated) before the rear tires. Unless
you just recently rotated your tires. I've seen tires last as little as 15K and last as long as 45K. Hope
this helps.

 

You are saying, if I rotate my tires. I can just wait awhile because right now I would like to buy tires, but the price of it is very high and I'm on a fixed income with school and such and with this economy I still have to save.

 

just a little FYI doing burnouts made my front tires last about 10k miles rofl after i rotated them now all my tires are worn =\

morel of the story: if you want your tires to last be nice to them!

 

Umm you need to try and find your wear bars or get a penny to measure your tread depth.

So basically if those bars are flush with the tread next to them you need to replace that tire.

 

If you can afford it now, do it. First, take it to a tire shop and see what they say. If you have one local, take
it to an America's Tire or Discount Tire. I'll let you in on a little secret most people know on this site;
Go to discounttiredirect.com and research some new tires. If you're on a budget, Kumhos are great
bang for the buck. If you can afford to spend more, go with Nitto, BF Goodrich, Falken, or Pirelli. Once
you find what you like, print out the tire info and take it to the stores mentioned above. They will price
match the tires you selected online. Could save you anywhere from $40-$80 for 4 tires. I saved a friend
of mine $125 off the MSRP of 4 tires for her BMW, so give it a go.
