We basically don't change them unless we get a new wand, like if the trigger breads down, or one time we installed a new pump, which had a different rating, so a new tip. I've never had one "wear out". It's probably close to 10 years now, works the same all day every day. I'm a bit curious now, but just a bit... ;D

I guess certain types of nozzles wear and when they do the pressure drops. If you can adjust the pressure on your washer you can compensate for the loss, which is not the right thing to do, further explained here.
