It's the same reason why timing belts need to be changed after X number of years despite low mileage.

Even though my '03 had low miles, I replaced the tires last fall (had a nail in a tire, so was at the shop anyway, would have been the 2nd tire to be repaired....just decided to replace them instead of more tire plugs).

My 2003 has about 9K on it, but the tires had to be replaced last year because they had no grip left anymore.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

This story claims that after 6 years a tire should be considered "expired", even if it's never been mounted and used. http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=4826897 I find it interesting that the tire manufacturers do not support perishable tires rules. Presumably they would sell more tires if people got rid of old tires even if the tread was still good.

POST 2Original post

I've had experience in the past, where my tires were about 5 years old and they were "dead" and weren't performing as when they were newer before. You could actually feel with your hands that the rubber was hard and sounded "solid" when tapped on. So, even if old tires don't separate as in the video, I believe they won't grip or perform as well as new.

POST 3Original post

It's true, tires have a limited shelf life. My 2003 has about 9K on it, but the tires had to be replaced last year because they had no grip left anymore. Full tread mind you, but you could tell how slippery they had become around turns and when stopping. Any type of rubber product will harden over time. It's the same reason why timing belts need to be changed after X number of years despite low mileage.

POST 4Original post

Even though my '03 had low miles, I replaced the tires last fall (had a nail in a tire, so was at the shop anyway, would have been the 2nd tire to be repaired....just decided to replace them instead of more tire plugs). Have been very happy with the better ride and increased grip. I was actually surprised that the ride was noticeably more pliant.

POST 5Original post

Porsche also recommends replacing tires that are older than 6 years old.
