Can anyone tell me why their is no date of manufacture on tyres...their you are buying new tyres ( well what you think is new) and these tyres could be on the shelf for years...Hence a story coming out of the U.S.A. as a lot of people have lost their life because of purchasing tyres for their cars etc...that were years old. Yes ! these products have a shelf life too...mind you next time you purchase ask for the mark that says date of manufacture and you will be told they last forever if not used....THINK !
