How often should tires be replaced?
Most tire manufacturers recommend replacing tires after 6 years, regardless of mileage. This is because rubber compounds can degrade over time, even if the tires appear unused. This degradation can lead to cracking, reduced flexibility, and increased risk of blowouts. We recommend replacing tires aged 6-10 years, no matter how much tread remains. When it comes to replacing tires, things can be a little unpredictable. Mileage, condition and routine maintenance all contribute to the tire’s safety and usability.It’s possible to use tyres that are 5 years old if they’re in good condition. They also need to have been properly stored. If your tyres are over 5 years old, we would recommend that you have them checked by tyre fitter. As rubber deteriorates over time naturally, older tyres can be more prone to failure.
