The tires on my 02 Rav4 are the original Bridgestones..

 

of all the things that could KILL you, they are worried about aged tires?

 

its in the inside side of the tire? how convenient

 

True but they might be much older... I've gotta go check the codes!

 

Yeah this is picking up steam, especially since some companies are selling old tires to people.

 

Mine are made on the 16th week of 2006 and the 25th week of 2007 per Michelin...

 

haha, how convenient is right lol

 

No, it's on the sidewall along with the rest of the information. Any serious racer on DOT legal tires knows all about this.

I had some MXX3s that were 5 years old, and my tire installer asked me, "Dude, I know how you drive, these things are 5 years old - are you sure you want these on your car?"

 

Yeah, tell that to all those Exploder owners running around on old tires that were seriously underinflated and died when they failed unexpectedly.

 

wow after watching that video, i think im going to check all my tire dates and family member's tires.

IS: Jan 2007
Tundra: March 2007

 

I saw this on Nightine maybe a month ago. This is very good info especially when buying "new" tires.

 

yes i know its on the sidewall, but its on the sidewall facing the inside of the car. I checked my cars today and alas and couldnt find it because i dont want to lie down on the floor with my suit. lol

 

mine are 41 week of 2002 and are the original tire I had when I bought the rims. Thank god for winter rims and tires.....maybe time to buy new rubber though.

 

I saw a story on this a couple of years ago, had never heard of this before then and it seems most others had not either.
