How often should 205 55 R16 tires be replaced?
Age: even if your tires still have tread, age matters. Rubber breaks down over time. Most manufacturers recommend replacing tires every 6 years, and never going beyond 10 years, no matter how good they look. Used tires can be unsafe due to their age, deterioration and potentially unseen interior damage or safety recall issues. They may be more likely to fail, cause accidents, and incur additional costs for repair of both the tires and (potentially) your vehicle.
