My original MT/Rs have 57k on them...the build code says 4202, i.e. Oct 2002 (I bought the Rubi new in Nov '02)

Eight year old tires = bad?

You would have to google this and make your own conclusion. Some people say 6 years some say 10. I think it was Germany having the 5 years on the inspection thing... But they have the Autobahn.

Ford Motor CO says 6 years

Just an FYI on this topic, some countries in europe dont pass safety inspection after 5 years of age on the tires regardless of dry rot or tread life left.
