    I would think twice driving a car with tires older than 5 years old even if the tires were just driven a few thousand kilometers. That few thousands you spend for a new set of tires might be the best insurance policy you bought. A blown tire due to its age might just be your death sentence. You’d rather be alive than dead.

    Most people would spend on other things for their cars but cheap out on tires. They forget that the only things that keep your car running on the road are the tires.

    Paul Walker and his friend died when the Porsche GT they drove rammed into a tree. The cause of the accident was that the tires were old and it blew out on them causing the car to lose control.

    Are all tires the same whether it is pirelli, michelin or low cost tires like arivo, sailun..... the life of the rubber is 5yrs?

    I recently replaced my car tires with a different brand "turkish" origin and was surprised to see it is manufactured 2019 but it is already installed. Are there lots of 2019 stocks of tires? because as we know we encountered many lockdowns last year.

    Are they going to resolve down to the week or just the year?

    So if the tires were manufactured on Week 1, 2016 and you had the inspection on Week 2, 2021, is that a pass or a fail? Assuming of course the tires passed all other tests.

    Petlas? Those are the only Turkish tyres I know being sold here. I prefer them over Bridgestone. Thread pattern is asymmetrical & quite grippy. Value for money tyres.

    Yep its petlas. Im currently using deestone and bridgestone tires and the shop recommended me petlas so I bought it and lets see if it will last me a couple more years. Im just upset with the manufacturing date being 2019.

    when last year?
    kasi, "last year" can be as recent as 17 days ago.

    errr...
    why am i suspicious of the label (0920)?
    the font looks correct, but... parang pinatong lang...

    If you want good advice and options for tires, reach out to Whistler.
