Do these tires have some sort of self-destruct device?

Just because our nanny government says they can't be sold after a certain date doesn't make them suddenly unsafe. Ten years is a far more realistic life for good to excellent tires.

If government "experts" say not to SELL them after a certain date it stands to reason that a realistic serviceable lifetime exists after the sell-by date. These aren't fish fillets or hamburger.
