How old are your tires?

For those who haven't seen this story on ABC news, you should watch it before buying those "new" tires that are on sale. All tires have a date code on them and it's not recommended to use them if over 6 years old. Many stores sell old stock claiming the tires are new when they've been sitting on the shelves for years.
