Found this and thought it was relevent to us. The info is about car tires, most of us have 4 wheel vehicles too. Its about how to read the age of tires and when to replace them. Some of the info would apply to bike tires too. http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/aged-tir...ist=&page=1

I have been building and driving hot rods and kustom kars all my life.I have 4 of them, i know one of my cars, the tires are over 20 years old. But i drive it once every couple of summers. Now how many people are going out and buy new tires .if there car sets a lot. Most likely they won't. And i have bought SO MANY tires over the years.Inever had any idea how to date them.i will be under most of my kars with my flashlight this summer. Great article...I had a 23 years old killed by a newer tire. with a slight cut in it. Tires are nothing to fool around with.JMO

I've never heard of such a thing. Makes sense if you think about it though. I'm going to check my tires for sure.
