Your moped’s tyres have been used for more than five years. Is checking tread alone sufficient to decide they may remain in use?

Correct answer

No, also assess their condition and follow professional-inspection recommendations.

No. Ageing, cracks, deformation, damage and manufacturer instructions also matter. Michelin recommends annual professional inspection after five years of use. That is not a universal prohibition on using every tyre older than five years; replacement depends on condition and applicable recommendations. Absence of uneven wear is also insufficient. Replace an unsafe tyre without waiting for a particular age.
