(I started paying attention after I developed dry rot on the TREAD at 36,000 miles)
I've never had a date on a tire before.

I'll have to ask my friend the tire expert on this one.

Here's what I was told. "the rubber in tires gets hard over time. The rule of thumb is not to use tires over 6 years old and tires made within the last 10-12 years all have a date code stamped into them, along with were they were made."
