Ford Motor Co has become the first US vehicle manufacturer to warn customers that they should replace older tyres, even if the tread is not worn out.
Ford officials said the move comes in response to a growing body of research that suggests tyres deteriorate as they age and can experience tread separations and other failures, even if they look robust.
