I don't mean how to take it out for dinner but this......

 

Check your sidewall, and look for the serial number. The last four numbers will determine the production date of the tyre. First two numbers will tell you the week, the last two numbers, the year of production. So if the last four numbers are 2209, production date is 22nd week of 2009. If it is 1014, production date is 10th week of 2014. If you can only find three numbers like 448, this means the tyre was produced before year 2000. In this case, the tyre was produce 44th  week of 1998.

 

Tyre manufacturers put the end of warranty at around 6 years after date of manufacture so it is better to watch what you buy. However, tyres do not magically disintegrate after 5 years as long as they were maintained and stocked properly. Better to check with your local tyre dealer for warranty concerns.
