I know I've seen info here before on tire age, but this vid really brings the subject into focus.
Many Thanks to Rowhard for finding this, & sending it to me...

Good knowledge to have. THANK YOU.
Although, it did make me a little paranoid. Guess what I am going to do when I get home today?

I think most of us that watch the video will be doing the same thing for sure.

Maybe we need to turn this thread into a poll for everyone to score how old their VX tires are.

the ones i just warrantied out were 4004
and for the record (i do work at a sears auto center, for the past 6 months) ive never seen a tire over 2 years old on our shelves, but a quick easy way to tell at sears is to look at the white lines across the tread of the tires, every 4 months we are supposed to go down the rows of tires in the warehouse and put a line across the tread, that way when selling tires, we choose the ones with the most lines, that is supposed to make sure that tires dont stick around for too long, so far worst ive seen is 5 lines

We had a trailer tire give out while in Moab this weekend. We went to the tire store to see what was available. There was a Goodyear ("brand new") and Michelin ("used") - $60 and $50, respectively. My dad said, "I guess we'll take the new one." I asked the tire guy what year each tire was made and the "brand new" tire was 11 years old while the "used" tire was only 3 years old... guess which one we got... thanks Bubba Dub!
