[quote=Bernica;1267385]Ok, This has me a little freaked out....

These Billboards have less than 500 miles, but have been sitting on the car for a few years. I posted before about my concerns about the sidewall cracking. Then, last night...WHOOSH! There goes one. Then an hour later...WHOOSH! There goes another!

Hummm....I think the answer is somewhere in this verbiage. I happen to live in the same area as Bernica. I think a 'race' tire is pretty safe considering it has to be driven at brutal speeds and worked hard....hence the word...RACE. But to drive other than racing should allow the tire to be used longer and as safe, I would think. But, maybe I am missing something. However, leaving a tire on the car, not using them and sitting for extended periods of time.....isn't that something like leaving a nice Cashmere sweater in the closet and being surprised it has holes from the moths? Just sayin....................
