Default Please Check your Car tires
I received this information from a friend and thought everyone should be aware of. Tires have a self life of around 6 years and stores are selling ones much older. which can make them very dangerous. There is a way to know how old your tires are. Heres a link to a 20/20 investigative report, it is a bit lengthy but I think necessary to know.

But more common with certain sources. Not really a common thing as implied.
