What Causes Dry Rotting Tires? Are Tires With Dry Rot Safe?
Dry rotting in tires occurs due to age, lack of use, and harsh conditions, leading to dangerous cracks that compromise safety. Regularly inspecting your tires and understanding these causes can help prevent catastrophic failures, ensuring safer driving experiences. Don’t risk dry rot.
Tire Wear Bar Indicators: What Tread Markers on Tires Mean
Tire wear bars are essential safety features built into modern tires, helping drivers easily monitor tread depth and know when it’s time for a replacement. As the tread wears down, these indicators become visible, signaling that your tires may be approaching the dangerous 2/32″ mark.
The Truth: Will All-Terrain Tires Kill your Gas Mileage?
While A/T tires offer superior grip for off-road adventures, they can reduce fuel efficiency by about 3% compared to highway tires. However, advancements in tire technology mean you can enjoy versatile performance without sacrificing too much at the pump.
