THE 2023 THREAD NO ONE WANTED TO MAKE

[Carsman]

Apparently I let my car sit too much.   I'm told tires are meant to be used, but I don't take my car out in just any weather. It's 10 years old and I only have about 66,000 miles on it. When I paid it off I choose not to get a new one, I like my car, but I baby it and now she needs new sneakers.

You are long overdo getting new rubber. In most cases, tires over “6” years old 
are suspect, regardless of the mileage on them! Over  time, The rubber compound 
Begins to crack and becomes unsafe. You know they are already 10 years old. 
Just so you know, Every tire has a date code for when it was made. 
Look for DOT followed by several digits on the lower side wall of the tire.
The last four numbers identify when the tire was made.
