Tire aging “The structural integrity of a tire can degrade over an extended period of time. When that occurs, tires are more prone to failure. The degradation of the tire occurs over time, mostly as a result of chemical reaction within the rubber components. That aging process can be accelerated by heat and sunlight. Tire life ultimately depends on the tire’s service conditions and environment in which they operate. Some vehicle manufacturers (Ford, Mercedes and Chrysler) recommend that tires be replaced every six years regardless of use. In addition a number of tire manufacturers cite ten years as the maximum service life for tires… Remember it is always wise to err on the side of caution if you suspect that your vehicle has tires that are over six years of age.” Big Brand Tire Company uses the above criteria in conjunction with a visual inspection to determine if a tire is repairable and should continue to be in service. |
