Mr. Argumentor
I fab shitboxes and shitbox accessories.
Not sure if they give you the date if you ask, but they have decent customer service so they mightThanks for this. Both the site and the hardness info.
I didn't know what the correct term was for wear rating or "UTQG".
Would they give a manufacture date for the actual ones you'll receive if asked?
Also what's a general time frame before they start breaking down too much from age, like 8 years, 4 years, etc.
For example a 60,000 mile tire should have probably 4 years of life left in it while on the car.
Depends on the tires. In the EU their DOT recommends 4-6 years per tire before replacing, but we don't have any hard standards. I think that the US DOT says a 10 year max. However, I had Michelins that still had good life at 8 years, and were showing no ill effects. They were rated for 80k miles though.
