my flipping tires are 8 years old!!! no wonder they are so worn out and caused me to do a complete 180 and land in a ditch saturday night.

Well who's fault is that?!

Didn't you post something about tire age a while back, Chris? If I recall correctly, there was a video. They said the oldest they would feel comfortable riding around on was 4-5 years after production (not installation).

no that wasnt me. and chris it aint my fault really. ive only had this truck since January.

Sorry, Chris. I meant Chris. :rof: I think I remember Skandocious posting it a while back, but I may be wrong. I remember the thread... I'll see if I can find it.

Ryan

I do recall that thread... I don't remember if I made it or not-- I did see it on the news though so it's possible.

If Ryan can dig up that old thread then it has instructions on where to look on your tires for a "code" that tells the week and year of manufacturing-- then you can tell exactly how old they are. It's a little-known code amongst consumers because it doesn't have any description to tell what the code means.

Here it is, Aaron posted it.

yeah i had found it thats how i figured out how old my tires were. lol.

8 years ain't THAT bad...

Tires on my truck are from about 1990ish (stored under my pappaws trailer till last year when the truck was brought up here)

Monte Carlo are atleast 10 years old I guess, cause I don't remember tires ever being put on it..

camper are from '01 when we got it

F-350 are from '02 when we got it

lumina are from 07ish? on the back, and front ones are about 6-8 months old

We are a very safety minded when it comes to things like tires.. their good till they don't hold air, or you can see the belts!

Here's a link to keep bookmarked, maybe even put it in a tech sticky so it can be found a little easier: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=11

Mine are 9 Years old.lol.

The Goodyear Wranglers that used to be on my truck are actually newer than the tires I have on the truck now.But,the truck sat for 3 years before I got it,so the old tires are all cracked.It's sad,cause there's alot of tread left on them.The new but older Dunlops don't have anthing wrong with them.

lol. i wish my tires had nothing wrong with them. wait after bout 9 am tomorrow they wont cause ill have new tires. SWEET!! except the whole part bout 460 dollars!!!!

That's gotta suck.It's about 130 for each tire on my truck.I'm screwed too.lol.

not for sure. you can go back to stock size 235 75 15 and get some goodyear wranglers at walmart for 70 a pop before all the warranties.

Quitcher bichen! My next set of tires will be in the $800-1000 range, not including the cost to mount and balance

wtf???? what are you getting. but also im only 18 and shaun is only 16. he dont have a job. i do but its only part time as of now making minimum wage. 6.55 here.

My next set will hopefully be 33/12.5/15 BFG M/T KM2's. If you shop around you can find them for a little more than $200 a pop.
