Problem 2. If a person is so dumb they don't understand how age could adversly affect rubber then don't allow them to drive a car.

But as usual, the SUV, minivan and sedan customers are ruining everything for the sports car customers.
I know how to read the code, and I understand how age affect rubber... I'm just trying to figure out if there's a rule of thumb here... so far I got 5 years. Is that it, or are there visual/tactile ways to tell if the tire has deteriorated quicker than that other than just tread wear from use?
