I just watched this and its kind of disturbing, I have never heard of “old” tires ( I figured they had a shelf life) and none the less that its possible its happening right here at any sears/BJs, Adarondack etc…

I got the tires on my Elantra put on last summer and the tires on my Mustang put on in late '06. The Elantra has about 20k on the tires and the Mustang has less than 4k.

I used to have a truck back in '03 that had Montgomery Ward bias ply tires on the rear- those were some old tires.
