Not a year, but a storage method. What affects the quality of tires? [video]

According to the Polish Tire Industry Association and the Institute of Road Transport, old tires are no worse than new ones. Good storage condition. These are unused tires that are stored in warehouses for a long time.

Drivers who want to buy new tires pay attention not only to the tread and size, but also to the year of manufacture. According to the tire industry, tires are not bread at all - the older, the stale.

Tires should be stored indoors with sufficient humidity and temperature. Expert studies show that one year of storage has the same effect on a tire as three weeks of normal driving or one week of bad pressure driving.

- Rubber ages when we use tires in a car. When we store tires in a warehouse, the aging process is limited, explains Piotr Zielak, a member of the Polish Tire Industry Association.
