[QUOTE=Gorilla;760001]Good job on the tires. Dry root is the worry when they are that old.[/QUOTE]
I have read a bunch of articles about tire life and bad things as time goes by, especially when my buddy (a Good Year Sales manager at the only Good Year store in town) told me that it is not so much weather checking as chemical break down that facilitates the weather checking. He showed me a tire that has never been mounted, been in their store front for 14 years that has a born date the is 16 years ago. Half of the tread is splitting between the treads, inline with the tire, not across it. interesting stuff. The tread was not separating, just splitting. Anyway, to be safe I just changed the rears too
