What is the maximum age of car tyres acceptable for NCT?
The tyres have the "E" mark.
How can you tell the "Year Of Manufacture" of a tyre?

Thanks.

You will get an "advisory" if the tyres are beyond 6 years, but they will pass unless they are cracked or such.

You will get small cracks appearing in the rubber because of age,i could see them on my spare which was 9 years old.
