The factors that affect the life span of (tractor) tyres/tires. 

• Quality of tyres: High quality tyres usually last longer
• Terrain: rough or uneven terrain cause more wear and tear than smooth terrain
• Load: carrying heavier loads that the tyres are rated reduce their lifespan.
• Inflation pressure: inadequately inflated tyres reduces the lifespan
• Management practices: regular inspection, proper storage and timely repairs prolong tyres’ lifespan
• Speed: driving at speeds higher than recommended generate a lot of heat that cause deterioration of tyres.
• Environmental factors such as extreme heat, sunlight and chemicals can degrade tyres.
• Wheel alignment: poor alignment may damage the tyres
• Chassis status: chassis in poor mechanical status impact on the life span of tyres
• Poor driving habits like quick acceleration or sudden braking reduce the life span of tyres
• Weather Conditions: driving in poor weather conditions like ice, snow, and rain can cause tires to wear quicker because they must work harder to maintain traction.
