A video from CBS’s 60 minutes unmasked a hidden danger you may not know about when buying “new” tires. Parents of a family mentioned in the short news clip sent their sons on a road trip assuming they had a safe vehicle to drive. However, on the way to their destination, they experienced a fatal accident. The cause? Tires recently purchased for the car broke apart and caused the catastrophe. The odd and dangerous part of this is that the tires on the car that were thought to be new were actually many years old. Old tires dry out, and become unsafe to use.
Tires sold over the counter across the country advertised as new have the potential to be YEARS older than you think. This video from 60 minutes explains the ordeal and lets you know how to identify tires that are very old.
