Is this for tires manufactured after '89 or so, or for tires designed after '89
or so? In specific, my question is regarding Michelin Redlines. Is a Michelin
Redline manufactured in 1993 any different than one manufactured in 1974? I
presume that even though the tire is produced with the same old size and
appearance, that the compounds used have changed at least somewhat. Is the
tread pattern still the same? Has the internal composition of the belts
changed? (I have no idea, I'm just asking...)
