Tire age and performance
EXCESSIVE AGEING OF A TIRE MAY AFFECT ITS
PERFORMANCE AND EVEN ITS SERVICE SUITABILITY
A correlation should not be made between the age of a tire and its ageing . The ageing of a tire depends solely on the
conditions in which it has been stored and the way it has been used . For example , a new tire , parked or stored next to a
transformer can incur irreversible damage to the sidewalls ( cracking ) within a few days : this will af fect its performance and its
ability to maintain pressure .
