Tires have a five to six year lifespan. Even if your tires have very little obvious tread wear they should be replaced if they are more than 6 years old. As tires age they lose the elasticity necessary to get a good grip. The compounds in the tire gradually dry out and this reduces your tire's ability to stop quickly in an emergency or on wet surfaces. Why not stop in to Tires Now if you have concerns about the age of your tires. The professionally trained staff will do a quick, no charge, analysis of your tires to see what their condition is. Tires Now is conveniently located inside the Jiffy Lube at 84 King George Rd., Brantford.
