Saw an add for used tyres and had to laugh. Go look at the date codes on your "rubber doughnuts"
Tires perish from old age as much as miles. The maximum safe age on a steel radial is 10 or 12 years.
I have seen tires explode while sitting still and shudder at what the results might have been at speed.
Last year I pitched a nearly perfect set of Michelins( that had been installed in 83) even though they still
had the nibs!!
Dont bet your safety on a tire that is past its life span just because it "looks OK" .
I also recommend a softer compound so the tire can grip the road in a corner better... that's the point
of a Tr , spirted driving!! Smiles Per Gallon..
