Tires an EYE opener - Page 5

I suppose it comes down to this question. All other things being equal,
if you had to choose between brandy-new tires that were made last month,
or the exact same tires that had been sitting on a shelf for X number of
years, which would ya choose? As much as tires cost nowadays, I'm going
to look at the date code when I buy them and make sure I'm getting new,
fresh tires right out of the oven. (Sounds like buying bread, doesn't it.)

I thought I'd check the tires on it and my trailer. My spare tire was 4202.
I could not see the ones on my trailer I know they are older than that. I
will have to jack it up and look on the inside. With my spare being made
October of 02 I won't worry, but I won't use it as a regular tire should I
need to stick it on for a flat. I do need to buy new for the trailer though.
I think there only 25 bucks at Walmart on the rim, something like that. I
know there older than 02 though.

My bike front tire is the same that comes on it stock, date was 4807 that
was good, I just had it put on this spring while on a mission. I realized I
was getting a bit low on tread so I road right to the dealer.

My back tire is the Elete 3, that surprised me what the date was. They must
not be a good seller. It was dated 2405. I'll have it worn out by the 6 year
thinking about dry rotting age. Just my thoughts too, I like my bread fresh,
all though I do like day old donuts from Casey's!
