Read this complete guide on tyre ageing and debunk the common misconceptions which tyre buyers usually have while buying tyres.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Tyre<\/p>\n

As a customer, it is natural for us to feel disappointed if the purchased commodity is not as fresh as it possibly should be from the date of manufacturing. And to its credit, the logic works pretty well when it comes to perishable goods, especially food items that are bound to become stale and lose quality and value over passing time. However, the same cannot be said for all products alike. Every product in all probability would have an expiration date but some might last long and much longer than others. When it comes to the tyre industry, buying a fresh set of tyres<\/a> can be an important aspect to customers but at what point does that desire become paranoia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let us break this down into a very simple everyday life example. You go to a grocery store to buy perishable foodstuffs, which may have an expiry date of 2-3 days to 2-3 weeks from the date of manufacturing and you would wish to buy them as fresh as possible. However, the same expiry duration of days, weeks or even months\/years is not true for tyres that you purchase. But how far can you go beyond the manufacturing date when it comes to purchasing a tyre, let\u2019s find out.<\/span><\/p>\n

How long do the tyres last if not used?<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Tyre<\/p>\n

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) US, unused tyres are 100% safe depending upon storage<\/strong> and environmental conditions<\/strong> for a period of 6 to 10 years. In fact, there are many studies that suggest that a tyre can last up to 10 years if checked for safety issues annually from the 5th year onwards. This clearly indicates that there is a big difference in treating two different products with the same perspective as a consumer. <\/span><\/p>\n

But the key statement here is, \u201cdepending upon storage<\/strong> and environmental conditions<\/strong>\u201d. As a customer, it is important to be aware of the product you purchase so that you can make an informed decision. So, what sort of storage and environmental conditions are expected here, let us understand.<\/span><\/p>\n
