Tires age, are you getting new??

For many, you go to the bike shop, buy tires and have them mounted and ballanced....and ride. But did you ever wonder how old the tires were before you bought them? They could have been setting on the rack for a couple months to a couple years, mabe more, mabe much more....:confused::tdown::eek5: If your going to ride a Sport Bike or any bike for that matter, don't you want to have the newest tires possable? of course you do......Well heres how to read the tire code build date..... there's two pictures here one of a motorcycle tire and one for you to practice on, a car tire. The motorcycle tire is self explanitory, see if you can decode the car tire
 
Car Tire

Well the car tire was built in the 51st week of the year 2007, did you get it? I'm betting you did. So protect yourself, afterall would you go 170 on a ten year old tire.....? I think not....
