Tire mfg date code/sales

With everyone being lawsuit happy these days, the retailers are afraid of the liability. Because Joe Shmoe can't drive & bangs a curb, flips his car & dies, then his family & some ambulance chasing lawyer sues the retailer & manufacturer because the tires on his car were over a specific date. Remember the Firestone debacle years ago with SUV tires? That's where all of this started. With the performance capabilities of todays cars & the HP limits we are building for our street cars, tire technology is having a tough time keeping up. On the racing scene, the manufacturers are trying to keep up with the speeds & HP of those cars also. Twenty five years ago, no one expected to see a top fuel car to EVER exceed 300MPH.
