I never knew the code on the sidewall for determining the age, most of my tires are used up or sold before 8 years so I never really needed to know.

Those tires might have been sitting for a few years before you bought them also, and if they sit for long periods of time they are more prone to cracks than tires rolled often are.

I didn’t know this either. Thank you for posting the article.
