Do you know how old your tires are?

Hmm... This could apply to many products, most of which have clearly printed warnings (tobacco, alcohol, etc..). Add a new label to tires to satisfy the lawsuit-happy people and you will still have a large number of people driving on "expired" tires. As it's been stated, keep you tires in good shape and they will be just fine. You'll notice in the article, they never once mentioned if the vehicles in question had properly maintained and inflated tires or if the gross vehicle weight was exceeded. Looks to me like just another scare tactic from the media. I am really tired of the "You might be killed by a product - Stay tuned for the news at 10" approach to reporting.
