What's this Scam?: Can't plug a tire if it's over five years old?

Regardless of tread? Tread still at 50% and mileage 50%.
When did this become a thing?

You can’t plug it yourself?

How would anybody know the tires age?

Maybe the little numbers on the side or he bought them there.

Saying that you want to plug something over five years old might get yourself put on a list.

I think they all have a DOT # that can place it within the year it was manufactured.

I wouldn’t be plugging ANY tire on my vehicle…patch from the inside.

From the coded number on the wall of the tire.

The last four numbers represent the manufacturer's date. The first two numbers indicate the week, while the last two indicate the year. (For example, a tire with the number 2910 was manufactured in the 29th week of 2010.)

Don't know. I never had a tire last 5 years.

It's bs. Mexicans won't check the date code.

Plug your own tires. Super easy and cheap.

I stopped off at a Mavis Tire store and they wouldn't plug mine because the screw/nail in it was on the outer ridge of the tire and said it was too close to the sidewall.
They likely have a directive from the main most office and they can't make money fixing flats.
After airing it up, I found a small independent mechanic shop and had it hot patched from the inside and rolled it another 30,000 miles. $15 I think.

Its on the tire and they cant sell or repair tires that old.
Maybe has something to do with going back to the firestone issues.

Exactly. Any of you that use TV campers need to check your shite.
Blowouts pulling a camper cause massive damage.

You cut the tire open and count the rings

You need new tires.
expiration on a tire is 6 years. If you are only driving in the neighborhood go for it but if you are hitting highways buy new tires.
