Thanks to a member on another forum, I came across this video.
Watch it, it can save your life...!
And make sure you watch it till the end. There's some good information in the second half.

Repost. But still a good video to watch regardless.

Tires are known to dry rot. I was following a truck on highway and its tire blew and scattered all over road and other cars. Luckily it was tandem axle so other tires supported truck and it didn't spin out.

Dry rot is a very common thing here in Phoenix.

Especially make sure you check the DOT for date of manufacture if you buy tires at canadian tire.... I used to work there and most of the tires that arent your common dodge caravan size sit on the racking for 8 years before they are sold

It sure makes you think twice about buying tires online...

Absolutely crazy!

Thanks for the post though! Definitely brought a dangerous subject to my attention (plus, when I was checking my tires, i noticed one was a little flat, and it just started snowing, so you may have saved me and my beautiful car lol)
