Think of your grocery store constantly filling the empty front of shelf space while allowing the back merchandise to sit for years.

L-Pink your absolutely correct. I dont believe FletchXXX watched the news clip.
I highly doubt that the majority of people know where to look for the manufactured date, let alone know how to interpret it on the tire. I sure didnt.
In reality, you could be buying brand new tires today, that in fact where manufactured in 1999, 2002 or whatever year. The danger lies in the fact that tires even when not used on the road, structurally detoriate. |
