A few years ago I was going to take a trip to a Sunbeam event but when I checked the tires, one of them had a split in the tread all the way around – no trip on those tires. Safety first.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> Tire manufactures, I believe, state replace every 5 years but then they want to make money. Small check and cracks in the side wall I believe should be OK but cracks or splits in the tread area is a bad sign. You have to use your best judgement at all time in this area.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> I one set of All Season Tire that should never have gotten that designation.

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?
