[V8] Tires , how old are your tires ?

[Paul Jager]

I never run anything over 5 years old.
Dry traction is OK but in the wet they are horrible - a real safety risk.
Heat cycling/ weather changes the composition of the rubber (hardens of 
course) Driving on hockey pucks i call them.
I know this from seeing friends punting their cars into the rails & ditches.

Running old beaters you need a deal?  hit Craigslist. I got these wheels and 
brand new toyos for $1K
