Important Service Life Information

Technical Bulletin: Service Life Information for Passenger Car and Light Truck Tires

Have passenger car and light truck tires, including spare tires, inspected regularly by a qualified tire specialist, such as a tire retailer, who will assess the tire’s suitability for continued service. Tires that have been in use for 5 years or more should continue to be inspected by a specialist at least annually, and tires 10 years and older should be replaced.
