Old tires could be very dangerous. I needed some and my boss gave me a couple that he said were almost new. Well one exploded on my vehicle and I was very lucky there was no accident or other damage.
Here is an interesting video about the dangers of old tires and places that were selling out of date tires.

what I don't understand is why the US Tire Manufacturers oppose having rules and regulations. If the tire was more than 6 years old, consumers would be forced to buy new tires, which means more business for manufacturers. As a reseller, you do not want your stock to expire, but as a manufacturer, you want your product to expire so you get to sell more new stuff.
