Yes checking the MFG date on the tires is very good advice. Also…any time you spray any type of Tire shine on your tires you are asking for premature dry rot of the outer casing of the tires.
Do you have your car detailed a lot? DO you use the tire shine products? If so…STOP…they all cause damage to that rubber… I havent seen any mfg’s of these products that say on the bottle…will not dry rot tires…until I do I dont use the stuff…OK I dont use it often… I only used it on my Porsche 914 because the car is nice enough to clean the entire thing…my other cars it doesnt matter about shiny tires most of the time.
Yes stay away from that stuff…Armorall is the WORST OFFENDER in this category.
