Michelin TB Tyre Ageing
Tyre deterioration occurs over time, regardless of whether they are actively used or remain idle; this ageing process will eventually result in diminished traction.
Discontinue the use of tyres that show obvious indications of wear or ageing, such as visible cracks in the tread's rubber, deformations, or damage to the sidewall's lower zone. Consulting with a tyre expert is recommended should there be any uncertainty.
For optimal performance, it is suggested to use Michelin Competition tyres no more than two years from the purchase date (or four months if stored under intense tropical climate conditions) and within one year for tyres designed for wet conditions.
