Found out my Jeep's tires were 8 years old last week
I was rotating tires in the driveway and actually looked at the date code on the sidewall. DOT stamp said 5216, meaning they were made in late 2016. That's 8 years on rubber that looked fine but was probably hard as a rock. Checked a tire shop forum later and found out the industry says replace at 6 years max. Anyone else ever run old tires and not realize it?
