Holy @#%#! I had NO idea about this. That scares the you-know-what outta me. I bought my tires about 3 1/2 years ago, but I have no idea how old they were when I got 'em. Wow...
Thanks for posting this.

It's a good thing to keep up on your tires, their condition, age, proper air pressure (also good for gas mileage), and to replace when they need it. But keep in mind a car with worn suspension/steering components, etc, can cause premature tire failure. Just because your tires are within an acceptable age range doesn't mean you are off the hook. Just be reasonable and diligent about your car maintenance overall.
Around here about 7 years or so ago a cyclist died when a pickup truck tire blew and the truck swerved into him.I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.
