When did this become a thing?

on 1/30/23 at 4:38 pm to deeprig9Saying 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.

From the coded number on the wall of the tire.
quote:
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.)

Plug your own tires. Super easy and cheap.

on 1/30/23 at 4:43 pm to deeprig9I 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

on 1/30/23 at 4:47 pm to deeprig9You 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.
