When this "old tire" thread went around a couple of months ago, I had a
question but I wanted to do some research first. I have since talked
to some longtime Healey friends and a bunch of 240Z maniacs I know. It
was agreed by everyone I talked to that a tire used all the time does
not age the same as a tire sitting dormant on a shelf. Living in
Southern California, my Healey is driven all the time. My one owner
240Z has been sitting a long time and, I agree, those tires are trash.
Because of the lightness of those two cars, I get excellent mileage and
have run tires for 10 years on them. I have never had a failure or
even a bulge to indicate delamination was about to happen. Are we all
just
lucky?<br>
