Tire antioxidants help preserve the rubber in your tires, keeping them looking new and improving their lifespan. Over time, exposure to oxygen and other elements can cause tire rubber to degrade, resulting in cracks, splits, and eventually failure. Antioxidants work by forming a barrier between the rubber and the air, slowing the oxidation process and protecting your tires.
