With the need to switch back and forth between seasonal tires, it becomes harder to decide when a tire has reached the point that it has become dangerous. Yet leading automotive specialists, including Edmunds, suggest that age plays a critical role. Visit Prestige Tire & Auto Service Center for tire advice and complete auto repair Kingston NY.
Fast and Furious
Paul Walker, the star of the Fast and Furious movie franchise, died in a car accident. Old tires may have played a big role in causing the wreck. Apparently, the tires were nine years old, but the tread was intact. While driving, the weak tires made the car vulnerable to an accident. 
Aging Tires
If you look at an old rubber band, you will see places where it has become brittle or thin. An aging tire is also becoming brittle, but it may not show. The pressure of driving can cause these brittle spots to give way, leading to an accident. 
Vulnerable Tires
Tread generally wears out when the car is driven 12,000 to 15,000 miles. Yet what about the driver who doesn't put that many miles on their tires? These drivers, unaware of the danger, may ignore the tire's age because the tread looks fine. Instead, these owners need to err on the side of caution, changing the tires according to age not just tread status. Get a tire inspection as part of our full service auto repair Kingston NY.
