Weather Car tire Lifetime depends on the Year of Manufacture?
 
It is learnt that Car tires have life time normally up to 30K miles/ 50K Km. But I want to know weather Car tire Lifetime also depends on the Year of Manufacture?

We had an 02 petrol, no cons, awesome car had to trade due to third baby...Get an 03 or better and less worries about trans.

I've driven a gas 2008 3.2 XC70 since 2008 and a 2009 D5 diesel when I am back in Iceland. The 3.2 gas on regular 87 octane gets 20 mpg consistently in town no matter how bad the traffic, how cold, how much stuff I have on the roof, etc. The best I have ever got on the highway was 22mpg. The D5 diesel gets 32 mpg in the same kinds of traffic. I have been able to get 45-47mpg on the Ring Road but I also tend to keep it around 45mph.

I think both the gas and diesel cars are fantastic. Although I love that inline 6 in the 3.2 (as I also love the 2.9 inline 6 in my 960) I wish I could buy a D3 or D5 in the states. Both the gas and diesels are fantastic cars. The 2012 cars with navigation have a much nicer dash layout but I won't be replacing my older cars for some time. I know I can get 250k miles out of each without too much trouble.
