This is educational about the shelf life of tires and how to tell the date a tire was made to make sure it is safe. Checking this could save your life now or later.
wow thanks for the headsup. The guy representing all major tire makes is a complete tool..."we have no scientific reason why age is a factor" hmmmmm did you see maybe the tread completley ripped off the tires of all the garaged wrecked cars? Moron

So, what do you do if you buy a tire that is over 6 or 7 years of age? Do laws back you up if you formulate a lawsuit against the seller for safety issues? I've changed my tires a couple of times and I'm planning to do it really soon, so this is... I just... I gotta thank you. Honestly, thank you for bringing it up. This is the kind of thing that you can only know about in AFM from MUSTANG drivers like you, because anywhere else they would hide it or deny it. Thanks for letting me know how to crack the code... thanks a million Chip.
