Please Help Me Find "old Tire" Danger Post

[ShoddyHog]

Not too long ago, I saw a post here about old tires and the associated danger in using them, but I can't find it. It showed how to check the manufacture date.

 

Does that sound familiar? If so, do you know where it is?

 

Thanks!

Can't find it now because of "Internal Server 500 Error" but here are the manufacturer codes to go along with the date codes. You will find the date and mfg code on the sidewall.

I would add from personal experience, if a tire is 5 years old or older. GET RID OF IT. I don't care if it looks brand new....you are asking for trouble.
