Not sure about anyone else, but at least once a week I check the tires on all of our vehicles...Just a quick walk around to see if there is any defects that can be seen, air pressure checks, etc..........Goes back to the days where I hauled other peoples antique cars for a secondary living..You can never be too careful.

I was informed by the Gentleman who did my front end alignment,Allen Lemons, to change tires every four years whether they needed them or not. He learned this lesson when a fellow Street Rodder blew what appeared to be a good tire and wrecked his Street Rod.
I changed the tires on the Mustang as soon as I noticed the cracking hiding in between the tread. This is the first I've heard of a date code.

Marty.

Thanks for posting this Paul, good info.

Since our cars aren't daily drivers, I know the tires on my Cobra will be replaced due to age, not mileage.

That's not good... You need more seat time!

Hmmm, good point. Looking back, it's been on the road for 3 1/2 months now & I only half a little over 300 miles on it.

Think I'll go for a ride tonight...... and tomorrow night......... and tomorrow night............................................. .......
