Choosing lasting tires can make a significant difference in the automotive budget. According to Organization of consumers and users (Occupation) of Spain, there are marks that offer a higher resistance to wear.
The study analyzed the responses of 52,000 drivers from five European countries, which indicated the brand and model of tires used, the mileage traveled and the reason for the last replacement.
According to To the fatherthe tire brand with the highest durability recorded was Yokohama, with an average of 44,634 kilometers traveled before replacement.
The brands that lead the table
Shortly after Yokohama comes Michelin, with an average of 44,187 kilometers, and Vreestein, which has an average durability of 42,973 kilometers.
