8. Automobile Tires
Duration: 6–10 years
Cost on average: $100*
Car tires are the unsung heroes of your car; they hold the road to keep you safe, but even though the tread seems to be intact, they age in secret. Rubber compounds have a 6–10 year lifespan. Over time, they degrade, losing their strength and flexibility, which can result in catastrophic breakdowns. It’s important to regularly inspect for age, wear, and cracks.

When tires are replaced early, your car will continue to operate and perform as safely as possible, protecting every trip. It’s important to make sure the rubber touches the road consistently each and every time you drive, not just where it happens to contact the road.
