Tires are just about the most important part of your car!

Tires are just about the most important part of your car. If they're in bad shape, the car's ability to accelerate, stop, and turn in all conditions is greatly compromised. Everybody knows to replace tires when the tread gets down to the wear bar, but what about when they get too old?

The rubber in tires deteriorates over time due to UV and environmental exposure. The resulting rot" leaves tire structure brittle and leads to sidewall damage and eventual failure.
