Moving from one home to another is a good time to take stock of everything you own. If you’ve decided that it’s time to downsize then this inventory is crucial.

What kind of shape are your tires in? The national Highway Traffic Safety Administration has found that a tire which is at least six years old has increased chance of what they call “catastrophic tread separation.” That means a blowout and that’s certainly not something you want to ever experience.
