When you guys store your cars for the winter and do not drive it much how long do you use the tires for as far as years go. I have alot of tread and no dry rot. Tires look good but I just don't drive much.

I live in Fl, so I am not sure how Tennessee weather affects tires, but I think it really depends on the quality of the tire. If there isn't any dry rot I think you will be alright. All I can say is keep an eye on them.

Maybe some one else on here that stores their car a little more can help ya.

Both my "toy" cars are sitting on 4 + year old tires . . . and still look new.

My Dad's Eldorado is on 12 year old tires, now thosea are starting to look a little sad.

Thanks guys. I was just wondering about the safety of old tires. Sounds like I will be okay for a couple more years. Just curious what people do that don't drive them much. Tires aren't cheap these days.

I have a truck that is for show and I only drive like 5,000 miles a year. The tires have age but look great still.

Tires are made of a Petroleum product so they wont last forever. I think after 6 years they start to lose integrity. They do harden after time as they dry out.
The date of manufacture is on the tire. It should be the last 2 digits of the serial number in a circle.
