Old but new tires

[upnover]

Found some tires that are new but manufactured in 2023. They have been stored in a climate controlled storage. You think they are still okay?

Of course. I have tires on my vehicles way older than that. Check for age cracks or obvious signs, but when they are installed ask them to give them a once over.

Based on what I'm hearing, sure, they'll be fine. Like Ddays said, I still have tires that are much older than that on a few of my Jeeps.

They’ll be fine especially if stored inside. The biggest problem with older tires is UV degradation.

I had late 2020, early 2021 tires on my gladiator up until a few months ago. Do tires have a “use by” date?

Yup, this ^^^

Tires all have a build code but I've never seen a "use by" date

How old is the current spare hanging off the back of your jeep out in the sun that you would install if you got a flat tire?

Yeah probably a dumb question, thanks for not roasting me too bad.

Where did you find them?

The rule of thumb seems to be 5 years after the build date. But of course it depends on environmental factors, and how they have been used.

I see that Google AI says 6-10 years.

Not a stupid question at all. Tires do dry rot. If they are outside in the sun and weather and not driven even occasionally they can bulge and become dangerous.

A few months ago I sold a set of oem wheels taken off my 2014 JK. They looked new. Buyer never came back

Good ole marketplace.

I should have added an emoji to my original post. Sometimes sarcasm is not self-evident.
