Re: Tire Dry Rot On New Tire
This evening Friday May 9, 2008on 20/20 is a special on automotive tires. Details on date codes of tires and the hazards of buying tires that have been sitting on shelves for years. Investigators found tires 12 years old but never sold being retailed as 'new'. Seems the tire lobbyists have prevented any expiration limits to be set for the age of tires sold in the US.
Perhaps there is evidence to support the tire sidewall defects based on years old tires sold as new, should be an eye opener.
