When you buy new tires at a Shop near you do you check the tires age? I ask because I recently bought a wheel off eBay and it came with a tire mounted. When the tire quickly went flat after mounting I checked the age and found it to be over 5 years old. It was not something I would have accepted had I known. So I checked the tires on my car today to see just how long they had been sitting before being mounted on my new car.
They were all built in different weeks.
week year
25 15
28 15
30 15
32 15
I don't think it means anything significant in my case but if you are buying new tires at a store you might want to check the date on the sidewall.
