Oh, good point. I did check the DOT numbers on the tires that are on my car just to see how old they are. They were made in 2008. I bought the car in July of 2011. I think (I can't remember exactly now) that it had 165,000 on it then. Now, I have 216,XXX. So, I have put over 51,000 miles on them and they were not new when I got them. So, I definitely cannot complain about these tires. Two of them are very worn and one was started to show a lot of cracking. I went ahead and put the spare tire on it until I can get my new ones. The spare was brand new but the date code on it was 2004.
