What is the shelf life of new tires?

[NorahLynn]

New tires generally have a shelf life of 3 to 5 years, because the main raw material of car tires is rubber, which has the characteristic of aging over time, leading to a decline in tire performance. Typically, tire aging occurs between 3 to 5 years. When purchasing tires, it is advisable to choose tires with a production date as recent as possible, preferably within 1 year. Tires are one of the important components of a car, directly in contact with the road surface. Together with the car suspension, they help to cushion the impact during driving, ensuring good ride comfort and smooth driving. They also ensure good adhesion between the wheels and the road surface, improving the car's traction, braking, and passing ability, while bearing the weight of the car.
