Very Interesting indeed. I haven't bought new tires lately, but will be checking from here on out. I really just found out about the date thing not to long ago.

i have actually had this happen to me. i bought one tire from two different places at really low prices. one tire was from a dealer the other was some hole in the wall thing on ebay. well one dry-rotted pretty fast and failed on me.

I was kind of watching the video until they went to the "warehouse of death" dramatic much?
