Myth -  While replacements, new tyres always go to the front side

Myth -  There is no need to replace unused tyers

We all know that tyres wear out when used continuously. But it does not necessary means that unused or less used tyres stay forever in top condition. There are some factors which reduce the life of tyre material such as heat, water, surrounding climate, etc.
