What is the 5 year rule for tyres?
Does the age of a tyre matter? Tyres are considered to be “new” and fit for retail up to 5 years from the date of production. This is an industry standard based on the german brv. When in use, it is recommended that tyres are replaced when they reach 6 – 10 years old, (6 years in the case of caravans or trailers). Since even long-lasting rubber eventually ages, we recommend that you don’t use any tires older than 10 years old. You can learn more about how often you should buy new tires. This means that it’s essential to determine the age of any stored tires by reading the date code on their sidewall.
