Guys,
Just bought a Scrambler with Baja Claw 35’s. They look almost brand new, but took them to the tire shop to be balanced and they wouldn’t touch them due to age. According to the date stamp, they are 10 years old. So I guess age is just as important as mileage and heat cycles.
Tires have zero cracks or visible dry rotting and even have the white lines from the factory.
They said it’s extremely dangerous to drive on tires older than 6 years. Is this true or are they trying to sell me new tires?
Thanks in advance!
Craig
