    Default Brand New but Aged Tires are Dangerous for Cars


    Brand New but Aged Tires are not safe. Even if not used and even the thread is thick, tires loses elasticity when they are aged in store shelves.

    Pag palit nako ug upat ka ligid last november 2008, kabantay ko nga ang napalit nako ang nakabutang sa last part sa DOT line is 1705 on three tires ug usa ka 0705 - meaning 17th week ug 7th week of 2005 respectively gi manufacturer. Pero wala ko kahibalo unsa nga pangidaron sa ligid ang angay nga likayan. Daghang salamat for this information.

    The next time mopalit 'ta ug ligid, siguroon gyud ni nga fresh pa or di pa kaayo dugay naka standby sa tindahan. Mas maayo tingali, expected years of usage plus storage life should not be more than 6 years. Ang daan bitaw nako nga ligid nga apil sa car pagpalit nako last april 2007, ang total age niya nilapas na ug 6 years, ka experience ko nga nibusikad ang ply pero gi kargahan pud to nako ug 35psi air reading on ordinary gauge (40psi on professional gauge) at that time nga ting-init pa gyud. Murag 45psi ang maximum pressure sa kadto nga ligid.

    Tuod, I found out nga kanang mga gagmay nga handy nga tire pressure gauge gipangbaligya sa stores dire, pun-i na ug 5psi kung mo read na sya ug 30psi to get the possible actual pressure reading kay sa professional gauge nga gamit sa namaligya ug ligid, mobasa na sya ug 35psi.

    Bought a Dunlop LM702 (195/55/R15) in a very known car accessory shop diri... After a week nga nakataod, ako gipa limpyohan ang inner lip sa ako rims, and I was shock nga naguba jud ang tire pagtang-tang sa ligid from the rim...

    I called servitek's manager and demanded a complete refund sa cost sa tire kay I was assuming that ang sayop ilang tawo...

    But later, we found out nga naay problema ang goma sa akong Brand New LM702... So I immediately went to the shop and brought the damage tire and complained to them... They told me nga ila pa daw ipadala sa manila to have it tested... And they did not even care to refund me, instead papaliton ko nila ug usa until mabalik ang kato ligid nga ila ipadala... Sa akong kalagot, akong gipatangtang ang remaining three brand new tires nila ('cause they have been insisting nga ang nagtangtang daw sa ligid and di kamao), and guess what (all three shows the same characteristics, unyag tuyok sa machine, mangalangkat ang goma, until makita ang steel belt...)...

    I maybe so unlucky.... and ended up buying another set which cost me around 30k (apil na ang dunlop LM702)

    I switch to Pirelli na lang, until nabaligya nako ako daan nga honda city..

    I really don't know whether it was a production issue, or daan na ang ligid nga akong napalit...

    Nice info! Naa bay nakasulat sa ligid kung kanus-a ang iyang "expiry" or shelf life even if wala pa magamit?

    agree jud ko ani. Also, naa pud baya ligid intended for certain countries but dili mo angay diri sa pilipinas because of different weather and road conditions.
