How Long Can Tires Be Stored Before They Become Unusable?

[DelTimothy]

Newly produced tires require 8 to 12 months of storage to enter a stable period. Tires stored for more than 3 years become unusable, and this period is calculated from the production date, not the purchase date. Generally, the production date is indicated on the sidewall of the tire as a four-digit number. The replacement cycle for tires is as follows: 1. Typically, the service life of a tire is about 5 years, meaning that the time from production to installation on a vehicle should not exceed 8 years. 2. Generally, tires need to be replaced every 5 years or after driving approximately 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers. However, the specific replacement cycle depends on driving conditions, temperature, tire pressure, and driving habits, as tire wear varies under different circumstances.
