Agreed. The "wear bars" are always there regardless of whether the tire is new or old - they should be, because that's your reference.
When the tire tread area is worn down to the point that it's on the same level of these wear bars, that's when the tire needs replacement ASAP - even if it hasn't hit 5 or 6 years.

yeah old tires are really dangerous. a friend of mine bought brand new never been used (may buhok buhok pa) tires from a seller online for a very very low too good to be true price. he picked it up night time and didn't bother checking the production date. when he had it mounted, napunit yung tire. when he checked 97 yung production date amf! hahaha...

Tires have a “shelf life” of 5 years old. Anything beyond that it is already dangerous to drive around with expired tires.
So when buying tires always ask for the production date. (You can see this printed at the tire sidewall) As much as possible only buy tires that are at least a year old. Newer, better.
