Re: Tire age

Tire issues I've witnessed:

Co-op tire tread blew off. Upon inspecting other three co-op brand tires, cracking was visible on sidewalls. Don't know tire age but they did see sun.

Old cheapo tire blew out on rear of V8 car. Don't know date but tire looked old and ugly, old fashioned tread design.

Tire was roughly 17 years old. Pirelli. Car sat during winters on tires. Had to drive a while to work flat spots out each year. Last year one tire started pulling. I removed tire from rim and saw no problem. I suspect belt damage from driving on cold flat spots.
