red,

If you're still betting your a$$ on your 20 year old tires, at least read this: https://www.michelinman.com/auto/aut...need-new-tires

If you're still using those on the street I hope you don't take out anyone else when they let go.

Tires continue to chemically age internally (read: delaminate) through their entire lifetime after initial vulcanization when they are produced. They look fine on the outside until enough internal cord to rubber adhesion is lost for them to self destruct.

Just sayin'

Tom
