You Miss Tired? or Rubber of Death

There is a video from the ABC news magazine 20/20. It is mind shocking. The tires on your vehicle could be killers, even if they are new. Apparently the US is the only nation where the general population is not aware of this extreme danger. Parents have been losing their children; children have been losing their parents. Hundreds, maybe thousands, of crashes have been caused by this problem and the stockpile of lawsuits is building up for nationwide tire retailers like Sears. The issue is the shelf life of tires. They may have never been mounted on a vehicle and look like new tires but if the manufactures date are four or more years prior to them first being sold you could be buying your doom.
