<p>Fender damage? I'm sure the old guys among us will remember the
case of a Tiger owner returning from a show when his tire blew
out. The wreck was disastrous. His passenger spent the rest of her
life in a nursing home, I believe. Lawsuits ensued. 60 Minutes
got involved. End result of tens of millions of dollars of
research and litigation resulted in a ruling that said any tire
over 5 years old is the owners risk. And that risk can be great.</p>

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>
