Tire age

Nope..no first hand knowledge. My guy has hundreds of used and new tires and new old stock. Didn't
push me in any direction just gave me info and options. But like in my previous post, my newer snow tires are
not worn at all and have become hard and noisy in 5 short years.
Right. There's no denying the rubber compounds have changed over the years, I just don't know how and my nose and experience tells me not in a good way......but again, I have no evidence other than my own experience which really means nothing. So don't take that as fear mongering. lol
