When purchasing new tires, it’s crucial to consider their age to ensure optimal performance and safety. Tire age refers to the time elapsed since the tire was manufactured, not the time since it was purchased or installed on a vehicle.
Fresh tires provide the best grip, handling, and resistance to wear and tear. As tires age, the rubber compound gradually degrades due to exposure to elements like sunlight, heat, and moisture. This degradation can lead to reduced traction, increased rolling resistance, and a higher risk of punctures and blowouts.
