I have found some information on tires that appear to be new and are unsafe for use. Just because a tire is sold by your local tire dealer as new it doesn't mean it is safe to used. I would suggest that anyone buying new tires to check out this information and become more informed prior to your next tire purchase.




This is the some very interesting information on tires and wheels in general:

Here are two links with video clips that have to do with old but not apparently worn out tires. Don't be fooled by the tread. Also check the date code on any new tire you buy prior to the dealer mounting the tire. It may be worth your while.
