Saw this on another forum I go to and thought it would be a good idea to post it here.
Tires that are sold as new. Opinions about this? |

I would have to say that most of what was said in that news story is probably true but maybe exaggerated a little. I know that ultraviolet rays are very harmful to tires and that was never mentioned. Many of us have cars that are either garage queens or garage kept weekend cars which spend much of their life indoors and protected. This could also be said for new tires that are stored in warehouses for all the tire stores. In my opinion this should extend the length of time for them to be considered safe.
