While you are checking your tire air pressure, investigate the manufacturing date.
You can find a tire's date code on the sidewall of the tire, in a small oval or raised rectangular box. The date code is a four-digit number that indicates the week and year the tire was made. If your tires are over 7 years old, they might still have good tread depth, but most experts recommend replacing them as they are likely not safe to drive on due to potential degradation in the rubber compound. Most car manufacturers and tire experts advise replacing tires after 5-6 years from the manufacturing date, regardless of tread remaining.
Stay safe!
