We can talk in Laughlin.

Ginny was dissapointed when I suggested she leave the HedgeHog home.

I have a junker Escort wagon that I need to get towed away. It's been sitting in the driveway for a couple years now and I always keep the tires inflated to help cut down on the 'white trash' look.
Anyway, I walked by it the other day and the right front tire, which has tons of tread left, had come completely apart. Sidewall blown out, de-capped, etc. And that was just sitting there!

I looked into this earlier this year, read alot of reports, and concluded it's just not worth the risk of keeping old tires, old being at least 8 years old IMHO. My SPF wasn't on the road until very late 2002 yet all Goodyear Eagle GTIIs on it were date coded Jan-Feb 2000 Some stores have "new" stock on the shelves that have 5 year old date codes in my area. I was unable to order new tires from Tire Rack or anywhere else where I could specify or confirm date codes prior to purchase. I found a local TiresPlus in my area that would order in a set of new Firestone Firehawk Indy 500s in the appropriate 15 inch sizes as were original to my car, and agreed that I would not purchase until dates confirmed. All were dated Mar-Apr 2008 I'd advise anybody unsure of the tire age to check the date codes

You really think that'll do it?

Don't you have some air to balance?
