That shits for real, i have experience from buying a used tire from some mom and pop off of stockton blvd. What usually happens is the tread starts peeling off, then blows just like the video. But new tires that have been aged, that is jacked up. We should find out more info on all new tires, the expiration date should be mandatory.

I've worked with tires for many years and don't think age alone effects the tires. If you buy an old used tire from a tire store it can separate and fly apart, if you buy a brand new tire thats been sitting outside for years it can come apart but I think tires stored inside a warehouse and kept away from the sun would be ok. Old tires would come apart if you changed direction but now they are multi directional so the belts don't get a pattern from running them one way.

Not used these are NEWLY sold tires that sit for years in werehouses until sold. Meaning you think you are buying a new tire, but it could be made many years prior to buying it.

for some cars that makes sense, for my trucks and suv's and beaters that I've owned in the past, I usually don't even start to think about replacing the tires until the tread is below DOT limits (lincoln's head on a penny), and in my experience that's been 50k miles on most sets of tires.
my mustangs I replace about every year, but that's because they're bald...
if there was an "expiration date" on the tires, I'd definitely replace them as often as needed.

Careful with your useless info, cant you see the studies they had? These are new tires from warehouses. The mmmmmm bop indians keep all the new inside. Stop promoting corporate tire stores and listen, you fool.
