2002 Corolla with a tire dated 12th week of 1993.

Or 1983 or 1973, but I’m being realistic. The tread pattern looked pretty 90s.

For the curious:

This was not the reason it was in the shop. Rough running on startup and brake noise. 263k miles, 1mm pad life in front, no friction material on rear brake shoes (drums, of course). All 4 fuel injectors had cracked bodies, I don’t recall ever seeing that before. Cylinders 1-3 had almost no fuel flow at simulated idle speed on the injector bench tester, and cylinder 4 had like a jet stream instead of a vapor. If you simulated a higher engine speed it got better.
