How often should I change the tires on my Volkswagen Passat?

I drive a 2015 Volkswagen Passat and I'm wondering how often I should change the tires to maintain optimal performance and safety?

The general guideline for changing tires is every 5 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. However, it's important to regularly check the tire pressure and tread depth as well.

It really depends on your driving style and road conditions. If you frequently drive on rough or unpaved roads or tend to accelerate and brake aggressively, you may need to change your tires more often. Performing regular tire rotations can also extend the lifespan of your tires.

I recommend consulting the owner's manual for specific maintenance guidelines for your Volkswagen Passat. It's also a good idea to have a trusted mechanic inspect your tires during routine maintenance visits.
