Why is that? What keeps them from drying out while being used? They are in the sun, heating up and cooling down over and over again, and being flexed and bumped constantly. It's hard for me to figure that.
It looks to me that tires should be replaced after 6 years no matter what.
Isn't America great? We'll put a "sell buy" date on a can of Coke, something that would taste OK if you opened the can 20 years from now, but we won't put an expiration date on something that is a matter of life and death.
And that tire industry spokesman reminded me of the guy in this cigarette ad
