That's a very good idea. I will try that to see how old they are. As far as the warranty, I have never been able to make a successful warranty claim on tires. I have only tried to a couple of times. Whenever I have had a car with worn out tires, I just replaced them. The only time it ever worked was when I paid for a road hazard warranty and actually hit some big ole nail on the highway, then they paid for it. But, assuming you are talking about a mileage warranty, I have never had luck with that. Donald H. Snook Snook Law LLC 5020 E.
