Re: [Chrysler300] Tires Tires Tires

[lettercars@xxxxxxx]

Hi All:
And I was actually thinking about taking the "F" for a little drive  today!  
How silly of me!  Sorry, but I don't have any car  (other than our '06 PT) 
that has tires newer than 5 years old.  Oh, just  remembered---the "F" does have 
bias old tires, so maybe I get a couple "safety  points" for that.   The "H" 
is in even worse shape.  "Old" radial  tires on original rims!  Better keep 
BOTH these babys in the  garage.    
300ly, Gil
Tallahassee, FL (The weather is not all that nice for a cvt. ride today  
anyway.)

Those  that get Old Cars weekly may have notice the reader question regarding 
the  safety of old tires and when to discard. Answer from the tire 
manufacturers is  5 yrs regardless of mileage. The theory is that the vulcanization 
process is  thought to continue beyond the mold resulting in chemical changes in 
the  rubber such as hardening and brittleness making them prone to  cracking.
