Driving with old tires

There was a time when tire dealers told us that tires should be seasoned, as fresh ones from production wore out too quickly. Today, tires are expected to be brand new, fresh from production straight to the customer, like rolls from the convection oven in the supermarket. When it comes to tires, this is certainly dependent on many factors. One factor is likely new rubber compounds, another is warehouse management and distribution structures. Whether that is true, young or old, is debatable. What is definitely true is that a pneumatic tire can only perform its job on a vehicle when filled with air. The appropriate air pressure is determined not only by the tire size and quality, but also by the vehicle type and driving conditions. Beginners base their decisions on the manufacturer's specifications found on the vehicle. Advanced drivers test out tires, asking friends and internet forums for test results from other drivers. Tires are becoming a matter of experience in the truest sense of the word. "Find out your tire type" is a slogan that's still with us. Following the triumph of international mass production, individualization is taking place in parallel. We see this in mobile phones with their personalized ringtones and applications. We'll soon see it in tires as well. Keep in mind: pneumatic tires need to be properly inflated, and at all times. Therefore, a monthly air check at the gas station isn't enough. Install an electronic tire pressure monitoring device—such as TireMoni—and use the display in the vehicle to keep yourself informed about the tire pressure and temperature at any time.
