      Min tread depth is 2/32" in most states and, I think, in much of Europe (≈1.6 mm).

        Old tyres last longer, I have a friend who stores them for a couple of years before fitting them to his car.

          The only problem is you cant straight out chuck them, not that we work in the garage.  But we have some sitting around,  the worse part is when my mom burned them.

          I finally checked my tires today. Luckily, all numbers were on the outside, so I didn't have to crawl underneath.
          Two rear tires are from 2001, but two front tires are form 2007, so I should be OK :)

            I didnt check mine, hated to take them off in case.  But I should have checked the spare.  I did check my liquid levels.

            Yeah,  but how many of us knew about that 6 years period being max for safety?

            I thought everybody knew this.

            Off topic slightly, but did people know that in the British English world we spell them 'tyres'?
