Default Re: 20/20 report on tires

Warfang.

Yes, 5 years is about it. Exposure to sun, ozone, salt air, or high temperatures suck some of the oils out of the rubber making it hard.

If you have 5 year old tires you will be quite amazed at how much better a new set will feel.

In addition technology has advanced and the newest pilots ride smoother, are stickier and have increased performance both wet and dry.

Time to give Parts Rack a call.
