tyres past their sell by date meaning to old???. not often seen because the tyres usually are out of tread before they get that old not sure if it can be a fail if the tyres are in OK condition but it's an advisory that I've seen before.
Here's some official type info
All tyres have a life span and a date stamp on the sidewall showing the week and the year it was manufactured. So 2206 means the tyre was made in the 22nd week of 2006. You should never use tyres over five years old whether or not the tyre is being used, as the rubber in a tyre degrades over time.

I got a "car is heavily undersealed" advisory this year. I apologised and straight faced promised to try to bring something rusty and full of holes next time.
