Will they explode? Steal my money? What if you have plenty of tread and you park in a garage? Still a problem?

Any links to a website with info?

no link but i'm looking...

it was on the TODAY show...stated that the rubber and/or other products in the tire reach a point where breakdown of the finished products starts at 6 years from the date of manufacturer. This is an appx point. Stated that it didn't matter if it were on the road, in a garage, in a warehouse or what...

Granted almost no one has tires for 6 years but advise people should check the date on their current tires and when purchasing new tires. They said although there is a small chance you would ever buy one that old there is still a chance...
