Glad all is OK Harvey........that's a chunk of change and lot of work to do all at one time. Might be better to spread it out if you don't drive them all regularly. They will all get old again at the same time.

Teej............thats some funny chit there man!!LOL

I wonder if my Chevelle's rubber is good........2002 Vintage Michelin X's.
No miles and stored indoors. I'm gonna remove & inspect each one very closely.

On my 86' 2+2 I put the V-rated T/A's on it in the mid 90's. Overkill yes......but I think they use much better Quality rubber on that type tire. They need replaced now as they are worn & has sat outside.

As SSJ71 said, it doesn't matter how close you inspect them. I was actually telling the truth about my shoes, but I've also had a set of 10+ year old tires that looked almost perfect and they developed a bubble in them while driving. No dry rot, no cracking, nothing. It sucks because they "MIGHT" be ok this trip. Or the next one. Kind of a Russian roulette. So unless you are just cruising around town at low speeds, I don't think you should risk it, no matter how tempting it is.
