Watch this ABC News video clip on tires. It's approximately 9 minutes long and definitely worth watching. I'm checking my tires.

Wow, that is good to know. Checked my tires, all of them were made in 2005, so they are 3 yrs old.

So, who knows how to "decipher" the date code on Batteries? THIS is the closest I could come to finding it on short notice.

Thanks InCommando:D we aquarii have to watch out for each other

When you see dry rot, replace your tires. it's not that hard to figure out. I've got a BFG Radial T/A from 1977 that I would NOT hesitate to put on a car, but I've seen two-year-old tires that are unsafe.

Not everything you see on 20/20 and Dateline is true. I know, it's a shock...

Case in point, the new OEM Goodyear tires harden excessively fast so within the first 3 years plus, the rubber compounds harden and you are sliding all over in wet conditions.
