Do new, unsold automobile tires have an expiration date?

Asked by john65pennington (29258points) April 28th, 2010

I have often wondered if brand new tires have a shelf life, just like bread, milk, and canned food. can new tires, sitting on dealers shelves, dry rot? are there laws that cover the expiration dates on new, unsold tires or are we at the mercy of the new tire dealer and pray he is telling us the truth? and, do new tires actually have an expiration date and how do we locate it on each tire?
