12 to 25K miles. Most seem to get 18K miles.


I still don't understand how your tires can make a "squeaking" sound. Maybe one of your wheels is cracked?

I could feel a vibration with my hand while the tire made contact with the road, causing the noise. That was with low tire pressure. Now with high pressure, the squeak is gone. The bead of the tire felt like it was moving when the tire pressure was too low.
