I have so much to say on this, but alas it wont let me. But as a long time tech and someone who talks to customers, trust me, the general public dont care, and wont buy a new tire just cause its 5 years old.

HOLY S**T. I had no idea about this, so I checked the tires on my car and they're over 8 years old. They're getting replaced next pay check.
