Thinking about replacing your tires? Here's when you should consider replacing dry rot tires:
1. Immediate Replacement: Replace tires immediately if you observe clear symptoms of dry rot to avoid unsafe driving conditions, such as blowouts or loss of vehicle control.
2. Cracks: Look for cracks on the sidewall or tread as a clear indication that a new tire is needed.
3. Color Change: A change in the tire's color, particularly if the surface appears brittle, is another sign for replacement.
4. Texture: Tires that are very hard, flaky, or crumble when compressed should be replaced immediately.
5. Age: Even without visible damage, tires older than six years should be inspected and replaced.
