Ever drive on the highway and see tire threads strewn across the roads? One of the main reasons is probably because the tires are so old that they blow off. The video link below talks about aged tires and how to tell when it was manufactured. This is new to me, may be new to others and maybe some even knew about it but its still informative considering people out there are constantly talking about buying new tires for their shoes.

If you look at wall of tire, you have a bunch of numbers/codes. If you look on the line where it has DOT..if you follow it all the way to the end, there should be 3 or 4 numbers. 419, 3202, etc.
419 means 41st week of 1999
216 means 21st week of 1996
3202 means 32nd week of 2002
So how many of knew about this?
