Used tires: good plan?Used tires: good plan?

After 5 years, winter tires tend to harden.They lose efficiency.They have less good handling and lengthen the braking distance.To check the age of the tire, look on the "dowry" these are 4 figures surrounded on which we find the week and the year of manufacture.Thus a dowry of "3420" means that a tire was manufactured the 34th week of 2020.

Then you have to check the tire wear.And therefore the thickness of the gum drawings.A new winter tire has about 9 mm sculptures.And the legal minimum is 1.6 mm.Small thing to calculate it, it is the size of the silver part of a part of € 2.If you don't see it, it's good, if you see it, it's no longer good, but it is better to avoid getting there.

By inquiring with our used sellers, we are always offered tires with a thickness of minimum 5 mm.In other words, the tires have already lived half their lives.

What does it mean ?Hey although a 2016 tire will no longer be good next winter and that a 5 mm eraser will take you less far, it's up to you to take the time to check your needs and calculate if you are really going to save a savinglong-term.
