Hi all,

My wife's ibiza is coming up 7 years old at the end of the year and has the original tyres on it.
I've checked the DOT code on a couple of them and it's 2602, which makes them just about 7 years.

Still loads of tread on them as the car is hardly used.

I assume that the rubber will have a shelf life after which they start to deteriorate. I've heard it's around 6 years.

Any one have any thoughts on whether they should be changed or not ?

cheers
Dave
