Q. What is the typical tyre lifespan for trucks?

Answer

The typical lifespan of a truck tyre, when driven the way it should, ranges from 25000 to 30000 km. Truck tyres are very heavy-duty tyres and are expected to be used roughly. Even if the tyres have not been used for 25000 kilometres, they only have a lifespan of 10 years. Even if the distance has not been covered, the truck tyres must be changed. This is because truck tyres are made out of rubber, and beyond 10 years, the rubber will degrade rapidly. Trucks carry a huge amount of load, and any mishap during the transport or use period can lead to severe financial loss along with human loss. Therefore, truck tyres must be changed every ten years, at least.
