Tires are usually rated for 40 ,000 to 60,000 miles. Americans drive 13,500 miles per on average[1]. That would cause tires to be replaced on average after ~4 years. So yeah, seems believable.

- aidenn0 5y agoI have never gotten the rated tread lifetime on a tire. I've gone through maybe 60 tires in my lifetime and none of them were replaced due to punctures (I had one repairable puncture). Partly because 90% of my miles are stop/go rather than cruising.
