Re: Replacing Old Tires

Your tires should be fine as long as you maintain them with the proper air pressure and use a protectant to prevent UV deterioration.

Also, try to move the vehicle every so often (once every month) so that the tires don't develop a flat spot. Alternatively, place jack stands underneath the vehicle to remove at least some of the weight from the tires. Place them such that the vehicle's suspension is still supporting the weight (under the front A-arms and rear axle versus the frame).
