Tire tread separation increases the risk of rollover and collisions with other vehicles or objects.

What is tire ageing or aged tire

Tires have a limited life of service, regardless of use or tread depth. This means a tire, still in its wrapping, never used, and off the shelf, if outside its life of service, is dangerous product, defective and should not be sold to a customer.

Ageing tires is a little known danger outside of the tire manufacturing industry and is likely to continue causing a significant amount of tread separations. These tires can inadvertently put into service after being stored in warehouses and garages, used on a vehicle that is not driven often, or having served as a spare.

An aged tire is likely to be sold because it looks brand new, has brand new appearance, and has adequate tread depth. There are usually show no visible signs of deterioration.

The age of a tire can be determined from the tire's serial or identification number, which is molded into the tire's sidewall. Notably, until recently, the tire serial number and its age were imprinted on the inside (i.e. facing the axle) of the tire.  Even today, this number is not easy for the average consumer to decode. Here's how to decode the tire.
