Picked up a set of Continental tires for my Explorer on Tire rack.they were on clearance for 99.00 ea,checked the 4 digit code in the tire,it said 3609,which tells me they were manufactured on 09/09,so almost 5 years old,by law the manufacturer cannot sell you a tire more than 5 years old.

I thought it was 6 years? Never the less, what's the point if you have to replace them almost immediately cause they are too old? It was just too good to be true. Complete FAIL on Tire Racks end.

Literally on Tire Rack's website: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=138
This is the real meat and potato's of the page - ""BRMA members strongly recommend that unused tyres should not be put into service if they are over six years old and that all tyres should be replaced ten years from the date of their manufacture."

This add to why Tire co. phase-out Summer tires every 6yrs or so, As we were saying on another thread http://www.ecoboostperformanceforum.com/index.php/topic,3433.0/topicseen.htmlBBOX said:
