Flat Tyres

How many people know how old their tires are or can interpret the DOT code on the sidewall? After six years tires become more likely to fail. And how many people check their tire pressures? Tires can indeed fail in time. Three yeas ago I bought my mother's car from her when she had to give up driving. It was 7 years old at the time. Within a few months I had vibration in the front and was planning to take it into the tire shop. A few days later it was shaking quite badly so I tool it in immediately. The belts had f ailed on two front tires. The car had only 44,000 odd km on it. The tread was barely worn, but the tires were shot. SInce the tow fronts had failed from age I had to replace all four. |
