Allignment & Tyre Balancing

Just some info,

Tires will deteriorate even if u use them or not, thats why tires have a "use life" of approx 6years before the rubber will harden and deteriorate (not perform to manufacture specs). So never buy old tires (chk mfg date) even if they've never been used.

Thats also true...
6 years is the Total life span, say you bought a 3 year old tire, u can still use it for 2-3 years (the usual lifetime for normal drivers)

Bro Nuke,

I think last I saw your tyres it looks new right.. No crack whatsoever. Don't be like I was crazy enough to go into SIc with my old tyres.. If you are on budget the best tyre would be KUMHO ECSTA KU36..it's a good tyre man.. Threadwear is 180..

yeah the tyres dont have any cracks on them or watever...

but if the car is 2004...then its already been 6 years....unless the previous owner in japan changed the tyres.

how do we check date of manufacture on tyres?
