As tires age, they can become more brittle and dry out. This can lead to cracks forming in the sidewalls or treads. Over time, these cracks can get larger and cause the tire to leak air or even blowout while in use. In extreme cases, older tires can cause accidents or injuries. If you have any concerns about the condition of your tires, it’s always best to have them checked by a professional.
