Tyre selling age.

    I don't know if it's something I heard somewhere, or even read somewhere on the interweb, but is there a maximum age that a tyre can be sold?
    Be it car, truck, bus, bike, etc; I was always under the impression that tyres could not be sold if they are over 5 years old. Is this the case?
    If it is the case, can anyone point me to a link that states this?
    Thanks.

    There are no rules that I'm aware of on the sale of old tyres, but if they're over 6 years old you'll fail NCT.

    According to pg. 63 of the NCT manual (http://www.ncts.ie/NCT%20Manual%20Revise%20May%202012.pdf) it's an advisory (I hadn't realised this category had been reinstated) rather than a complete failure.
