That's what the dealer said at the PPI and that they don't recommend driving on tires older than 5-6 six years old. However, they said they could see no degradation of the rubber in my case. I also had a close friend who is a car nut and once a certified mechanic make the same statement regarding the tires. I was ready to buy tires, however everyone that knows more than me, that's seen my tires, says don't waste your money.

I plan to keep a close eye on the tires. I will probably put 3-4 thousand miles on the car this summer which will double its current mileage. My thinking is with the age of the tires they will degrade very fast. At the first sign of real wear they're gone.
