Checked our vehicles. All the tires on my truck were manufactured in 2007. On my wife's car two were from 2004, one from 2007 and the other didn't have a date.

This story is a real eye opener. It is one thing I never would have thought a person had to worry about. Thanks for posting it.

the one with no date stamped on it was probabley one made in another country . they don`t care if it is safe or not . not menny cars in most other countrys . japan especialey . they are so crowded you can`t git no speed :D mostley bicyckles and rikshaws . from what i hear about germaney you better have good tires.

What I don't understand is that the tire with no date stamp is the same brand as all the other tires. It was on there when we bought the car. The one with 2007 was a replacement we had put on late last year.

Thank you for this thread. I had no Idea this was an issue. When I get home tomorrow I'll be checking all my tires. As a father and husband, I fee it's my responsibility to keep my family safe. I'd hate to know something happened to my family cause of something I could have prevented.
