Expiration is 4 years from the date manufactured. After 4 years tires must be replace to avoid problem. I don't know why DTI doesn't imposed penalty

for those store selling expired tire since it is unsafe.

Yup,- and that is what we need to be aware of when buying new tyres....

Question is kailangan pa rin bang palitan ang gulong nya maski hindi pa ito nasisira. Take note pagtitignan mo gulong nya parang bago pa rin at makapal na makapal pa ang threads.

+1 with speed unlimited, IMO di porke't expired papalitan na. siguro kung palaging over 100 kph at very long distance byahe. but i don't think tatagal ng 5 years or more kung ganun lagi ang gamit.

6 years is probably the most you can get from any tire. Y'all should see this: http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerindex?id=4826897

Naku pards, if you can see my friend's crosswind parang bago pa ang tires maski na 7 years old na ito. And sa paggamit nya mukhang tatagal pa for another 3 years.

Nabili nya iyong vehicle nya brand new last 2002 sa 4 sets ng gulong may nasira ng isa actually pero hindi ito dahil sa pudpod na iyong gulong kung hindi dahil sa may defect iyong side wall at napa warranty pa nya. So all in all 3 gulong nya ang 7 years old na and still counting.

Again, you can't really tell if the tires are still ok by just looking at it. The rubber compound gets weak as the tire ages. So after 7 years, it may still look brand new, but the structural integrity might've already been compromised. The best gauge at this point is to use the date stamp to determine its age and discard tires older than 6-7 years.

Correct sir...for safety reason kaya meron expiration ang gulong regardless of usage and thickness. Sa Pilipinas maraming kaso ng running flat isa na dyan yung kaibigan ko takbo sya ng 90kph sumabog ang gulong. Awa nman ng diyos ok lng sya pero yung car total wreck. Ok lang gamitin ang expired tire as long as you don't drive fast at your own risk
