The following is a statement from Wal-Mart regarding a story that Call 6 for Help aired on May 9:Safety is always priority for Wal-Mart. Research shows consistent maintenance, proper inflation and regular inspection for tread wear patterns and damage are the keys to good tire performance. We follow all National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration standards and, should the NHTSA create a ruling related to age of tires and its effect on the safety of our customers, we would of course comply.We recommend that customers concerned about the age or condition of their tires have the tires inspected by a professional.
