nTire age
Tires degrade over time, even whenthey are not being used. Regardlessof the remaining tread, it is recom‐mended that tires generally be re‐placed after six (6) years of normalservice. Heat caused by hot climatesor frequent high loading conditionscan accelerate the aging process.Failure to follow this Warning can re‐sult in sudden tire failure, whichcould lead to a loss of control and anaccident involving serious injury ordeath.
