The original tires on the Ranger went 6 to 7 years before one got a flat. All of them had crackling along tread/sidewall border. I wasn't going to replace them before getting the flat. However, the Ranger wasn't a daily driver at the time either.
6 years seems to be the average warranty length on tires. Will the tire compound last longer than this? Most likely they will. A set of 60k mile tires might also go longer than that. I'm just saying that if you only put 10k miles on a year, don't pay extra for 80k mile tires. Returning to this: {So I have to wonder which tire is overall better for the environment; the one having a "nicer" tread pattern (one of the benefits of LRR) and therefore better fuel economy but wears out quicker or the tire with an aggressive tread pattern but worse fuel economy and takes longer to wear down?} I don't think the question applies to the real world. LRR tires are rated at or near the same tread life of comparable regular tires. It isn't an either or situation. |
