tire age
Are there any markings on tires, that would give some idea of their age. I have a 1999 rexhall that I have no idea how old the tires are. Thanks in advance for your help.

I am constantly amazed at how many people immediately place responsibility for a blowout on age. What about underinflation/overoad, pinch shock that happened a few hundred miles ago but just now decided to let go, etc., etc.
In my many years I have done hundreds of "s**** tire analysis", and can honestly tell you a vast majority of the blowouts were due to maintenance problems, and not age. If I was to name the primary cause it would be cheap radial tires.
