Your tires play a crucial role in the safety and functionality of your vehicle. Proper tire maintenance is vital in preventing flats, enhancing road safety and improving gas mileage. During the colder months, tires will need routine inspection and care.

Check your tire pressure regularly by monitoring the TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system). When the TPMS light ...

How Old is My Tire?
posted on
4/15/2021 10:05:39 AM
Determining your tire age is very important for your driving safety. Driving with a tire over six years old could be putting you and your passengers in danger. Tires dry rot with age from the inside out. When the tire gets older, it is exposed to the elements, and the strength of the bond between the rubber and the steel belts is reduced. This can cause cracks in the rubber, which may appear on the tire’s surface and can also appear out of sight within the structure of the tire. Keeping a reco...
