There are many different types of wear that you can get on a tyre and it’s not necessarily something you can always avoid, but there are a few ways to minimise the amount of wear that occurs on your tyres.

Sharp breaking can be one of the most common ways to shed the grip on your tyres, and if you’re the type of driver who likes to get up to high speeds and then brake lately then you may be doing an awful lot of damage to your tyres, meaning you’ll have to replace them sooner.

Road surfaces vary and a rough surface can always do damage, so avoiding pot holes, rigid road bumps and cracked roads can always be beneficial. Curbs are another potentially dangerous surface, and driving into a curb at speed cannot just damage the wear over time, you may also find punctures.

Most of the time, common sense is important to maintaining tyre tread, and if you want to make your next set of tyres last as long as they are supposed to then think more carefully about the tyres and the road surface you’re driving on.
