🛞 Your tires may be too old… even if the tread still looks good 👀
Most drivers only look at tread depth, but tire AGE matters too.
Over time, tires can dry out and weaken due to:
🔥 Heat
❄️ Weather changes
🛞 Road conditions
⏳ Age
Even tires that “look fine” can become unsafe as rubber breaks down over the years.
Signs of aging tires:
⚠️ Cracking
⚠️ Dry rot
⚠️ Vibration
Reduced traction
