Default tyre age...

whi all,

we do know that there is a 4 digit coe writen on the tyres that explains the date of production....0504 means for example week 5 of year 2004...

but can anyone explain if you are about to install "new" tyres on your car....what is the oldest they can be so that they perform as new?

assuming of course that storage has been as stated from the factory...(i.e. no direct sunlight...etc...0

thanks

I'm not 100% sure but I was told no more than 2 years in ideal condition storage.

Cheers
