RE: [Chrysler300] Tires-Ticking Time Bombs?

["Bob Jasinski" <rpjasin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There was another story like this about a year or two ago, could have been
the same one.  The report is lacking one key ingredient, science.  Let's see
some factual data and hard evidence that all tires 6 years and older are
"ticking time bombs" .   There is no way I'm spending $700-$1,000 every 6
years for new tires for my G, when it only gets 1,000 miles a year put on it
and it is out of the sun 99% of the time.  Tires need to be inspected, and
air pressure checked regularly.  I really believe if this was as big of a
problem as the story indicates, the manufacturers and tire retailers would
be on the forefront of requiring replacements within certain time limits,
because their insurance companies would demand it.  Common sense should
prevail, not scare tactics, show me the science and the test results on old
vs. new tire reliability and then I'll decide when to replace them.

Hi to all,

Came across an investigative report regarding tire safety or lack thereof in
reference to age.

It does not bode well for the collector hobby if true.

Don't kill the messenger, this is for information only.
