Reply to "Tell me again why I need to replace my ten year old tires when they have perfectly good treads on them :)"

I still have some tires in my attic that I saved. Two rear tires still new and sized at 335/35/17 from Dunlop. I have to throw them away too since they are over 10 years old.

Before they had that article on TV about failure rates due to tire age, I wouldn't give it a second thought about having these mounted. Hey, they're brand new right? Now its just junk taking up space.

We should have burn-out contest. I'm sure I'm not the only one that was saving a set of tires. Take our cars out to an empty parking lot, light up the tire and see who can do the coolest burn-out. If anything, it'l make us feel better that the tires were used for something other than taking up shelf space.
