Our experience has been that when properly stored and cared for, most street tires have a useful life in service of between six to ten years. Since Tire Rack sells tires manufactured in North and South America, as well as Europe, Africa and Asia, it's common for us to receive new tires directly from manufacturers that are already six to nine months old. Since we rotate our inventory, most of the tires we ship are less than a year old.

I found out about the tire-age code last year when I bought new tires as mentioned the the ABC video.



The above tire was made in the 51st week of 2007.
