Tires Aged When Purchased New

Another thing to think about when purchasing tires. They can be years old when purchased new.

Keep it shiny side up.

We had some people come to distribute information on that, they also checked your tires if you asked them, it was an awareness thing, mine are due for a change, even though they look good

Having had a lot of old tires on my vehicles from the date they were installed not even knowing how old they were when they were installed and never having any problems I think the danger is overstated. I think a lot of the problem is there is a vast number of people driving around constantly on under inflated tires whether they are old or not.
