An Invisible Danger


Even if the tire looks fine, once it is 6 years old it could be ready to rip apart on the inside. Aging tires begin to deteriorate, dry out, and develop adhesions. The tire breakdown can cause tread separation, which can lead to catastrophic tire failure. Often, service technicians may replace flat tires with tires older than 6 years. Please check your tires and if they are obviously worn or look fine but are 6 years old or older, purchase new tires immediately. This is the safest thing you can do to protect you, your family, and others on the road.
