Just saw this on TV !!!

[RubHer Yellow Ducky]

I just saw this on T.V. concerning the age of tires and the safety of tires over 6 years old.

If you look at the long line of small letters broken into 3 to 5 groups on a single line at the end will be 4 numbers. The first 2 numbers are the week of the year the tires were manufactured and the lat 2 numbers are the year.

example: 1501
means the 15th week of 2001 (sometime in March)

The info delt with safety of tires, natural aging, exposure to the sun and elements all of which effect the ultimate safety of the tire.

I don't know the ins and outs of the safety factor but found the info interesting...

any comments (that are about THIS SUBJECT) !
