You may or may-not know all tires have a date of manufacture molded into the sidewall of the tire. The accepted policy is that any tire over 5 years old should be replaced due to the potential of the tire rotting,cracking or splitting.

Any time I've scrapped a car, I've had the ownership to turn in. I was going to look at a parts truck, but it has no ownership. I only want parts but I also dont want to be stuck with a carcass I cant get rid of. Has anyone been able to turn in a vehicle without an ownership?
