Can tires stored for seven or eight years still be used?

[Hector]

Tires stored for seven or eight years are not recommended for use. Tires are rubber products and will age even when not in use. Continuing to use them poses a risk of blowouts. Below is an introduction to car tires. 1. Tire lifespan: Generally, the lifespan of a tire is 6-8 years, with a maximum of 10 years. For tires older than 6 years, check the edges for rubber cracking. If no obvious cracks are found, they can still be used. If significant cracking is observed, it is advisable to replace the tire. 2. Tire mileage: If the tire has no issues (such as excessive patching, side punctures, etc.), but has been in service for four years, it should be replaced even if the mileage has not reached 80,000 kilometers. Similarly, if the mileage reaches 80,000 kilometers before four years, replacement is also recommended.
