In principal, a tyre's lifespan is around ten years, however a 'new' tyre is designed to last between one to five years if it's properly stored when not in use. Both physical and chemical reasons cause tyres to age and this can also happen to tyres that are rarely or never even driven on.

In general, air compressors are highly durable tools. For example, it's estimated that a rotary compressor will last for 40,000 to 60,000 hours – the equivalent of full-time operation for 20 to 30 years. With regular maintenance, reciprocating compressors have a life expectancy of 10 to 15 years.

During rotation, each tire and wheel is removed from your vehicle and moved to a different position to ensure that all tires wear evenly and last longer. Tires should be rotated every six months or 6,000 to 8,000 miles.

Reduced tread wear: A 2013 study by J.D. Power found that people replaced their run-flat tires an average of 6,000 miles sooner than owners using conventional tires. Opinions differ on the reason, but one theory is that tiremakers put a soft tread compound on a run-flat tire to counter the hard ride.

There's likely to be a restriction on how fast and how far you can drive on the repaired tyre. This should be in the instructions but if in doubt, stick to a maximum of 50mph for 50 miles. Make sure you drive carefully, especially when cornering and braking.

Used tires tread can be up to 90%, but the average is 6-8/32”. Tires in good condition should have a minimum of 6/32” to be useful, or 4/32” if the tire is 13-14”. The average legal minimum tread depth is 2/32”, but driving becomes unsafe with such a tread.

At an average, you can expect it to last 7-10 years if used properly. All it takes is ensuring that the plug is cleaned and dressed properly, and then you use the right vulcanizing agent so that the tire patch will last. Also be sure that the patch is done on the interior and tread-side of the tire.

If you drive the car and the pressure is a little low on one tyre and there is no physical defect in the tyre then probably OK for a 100 or so kms but be aware that some parts of the tread will wear and the tyre may cause pulling to one side eventually. If the pressure is substantially low fit the spare.

Finally, wheel alignment, tire balancing, and brake pad/lining replacement might be covered under factory warranty for the first 12 months or 12,000 -18,000 miles depending on the dealer. Car warranties are a great benefit to cover unexpected maintenance problems, however, it is important to know what is covered.

Budget tyres, on account of their lesser quality, are more suited for slower speed driving on main roads, or for cars which only do low mileages. ... A good tyre can last for 20,000 miles or more whereas a budget tyre may last for a significantly shorter time depending on how often they're used.
