Hi Team, Just looking for some "anecdotal evidence" and thought maybe you could help... Over the decades I've read articles warning about the dangers of old tires, and yet I can't recall hearing of a

The Carolinas AHC has specific "anecdotal evidence" of older tire problems. The club was on a mountain trip with a new member who was an original owner of a low mileage 1967 BJ8. On the way, his rear

I had cracked Michelin X tires on my 1971 MGB when I got it in 1992. I drove that car with these cracked tires for 6 years without any problems. I sold that car with the aged tires. I have no idea h

I don't have a dramatic story, but a failure none the less. Just a mismatched set of ancient tires on my project BN6 just out of highschool in 1981. One of my old cracked and brittle radials just dec

Hi Reid, I use a tire durometer to measure tread hardness. It measures from zero to 100 on the "Shore A Scale". Tires range from around 50 for sticky race tires to maybe 85 for hard commercial tires.

I didn't go to the website to look but was the tire 10 years old or better. I can't believe a steel belted radial would fail within 5000 miles unless the car was driven 500 miles per year for 10 ten

Fearless Reid, Personal & first-hand. No racing or nails. When I bought my Erika the Red in 1989, she was shod with 165R15 Dunlop SP4 tires that looked to have about 50% tread left. I knew nothing ab

I think age of the tire has as much to do with safety as the quality of the tire. On my BN1 I have 30+ year old Michelin XZXs with basically new tread. That being said the tires are cracked and are
