It does cause me pain to see tires with only 200 miles of wear go to the recycler especially when their size replacements are no longer available. But that beats doing fender damage from a blowout.</div></div><div id="DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br>

My cars don't get many miles a year as well, but some of those miles end up being at freeway speeds. I figure I'd rather spend $500 on tires than risk a $50,000 car or my body. I think the recommendation is change them every 7 years, and that's what I do.</div>

I'm one of those drivers that doesn't put more than a few hundred miles on my MR2 Spyder or will put on the Tiger each year. I wonder if people with several infrequent use cars change all of their cars' tires every 10 years or less. Realizing the danger of
running old tires particularly at highway speed, are 36 year old BFG TA tires even useable at speeds under 45 MPH? I should have used the 235/50xR13's more before the Tiger's long layup.</div>
