Agreed. I had two Famous Maker tires fail on my old Jetta. They were old but looked OK and still had ample tread left. They suffered some sort of internal separations resulting in them being not quite round anymore. The wobble was quite dramatic. No disasters, low speed, just a few miles from home. When the first failed, I said "that's odd". When the second did the same thing, I immediately replaced the rest. A few years later I got a set of neat wheels for the Tiger, including the old Continentals mounted on them. I contacted Conti, and they recommended replacing them, since the tires were well beyond the 6 or 7 years max they claim. We replaced two sets this year, one on the Tiger, and some 7 year old Goodies on my daughter's car, that were starting to show external cracks and one started losing a few pounds a month.
