Testing by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has shown that when tires are approximately six years old, the chance of tread separation increases substantially.  This means that an aging tire can self-destruct, causing a catastrophic blowout on the roadways.  Under these circumstances, drivers often lose control of their vehicles.  Those vehicles with higher centers of gravity, such as SUVS, are at serious risk for rolling or overturning.

Aging tires are a stealthy hazard because they may still have tread life.  For example, a spare tire that it approximately 6 years old may never have been used; however, it is dangerous nonetheless.
