Check your tyres before a trip

Just a reminder.

I replaced my tyres today as we are going on a short trip soon and thought it prudent to do a bit of prep work.

Seems all three of the tyres on the van are 5yrs old or more.
Lots of tread, but of course when a tyre is that old the rubber will be breaking down.
Yes there are plenty out there that can give stories of running on tyres much older.
BUT
The tyre places won't fit tyres over 6 years old onto a rim these days.
Got to do with safety regulations etc.

Nothing spoils a lovely holiday like a blown tyre and realising there is a real chance that the spare will cause issue as well.

For under $300 it's peace of mind.

Cheers

Oh and forgot to say.
How old are your fire extinguishers?

Mine are five years old and the recommendation is to replace every year. oops.
