[Tigers] Tire deterioration idea?

[Jim]

Well... if I had a set of our forefather's 5.90-13's , they wouldn't last me
more than 2.897 weeks... even after rotating them front to back, lol!

My 245/50-14's are date coded 1981 & 1982 ! They actually 'look' perfect as
the car has  been indoors for probably 99.99% of that time ... not very
sticky though :(
Coker is finally making a new batch ( been unavailable for several years )
and I was hoping to have them for the TU autocross but their having trouble
with the molds and might not have them ready for another month or 2 ...

I don't have the technical expertise on the running tire conversation,  but
I  have an idea.  Let's all just drive our cars so much that we get back to
the basics of wearing out the tread!  I figure through some very complex
calculations that if driven the way the forefathers of the tiger intended,
we shouldn't get more than 2.897 years (except in a leap year) out of our
street tires.
