<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Jason,...This is all about teaching those
that are unaware what to look for, when purchasing a "new" set of skin's for
there car's.It's like a woman shopping for fruit's n' vegetable's,that they'll
pick through them,only picking the best,and freshest.Case in point,rubber is a
natural material,and will rot and decay,if left to do so,just as a banana turn's
brown.Would one pick a brown and aged banana to buy?. Not hardly. The grocer
would have to throw it in the garbage,and his loss.The grower can't be blamed,he
shipped it fresh.Getting back to the tire,the manufacture by law, has stamped
the born date,just like born dates now stamped on the bottom of a beer can,or a
"sell by" date on a gallon of milk.This all leaves it upon the consumer to get
street smart,when purchasing the tire.Another owner's issue is inspecting a tire
for checking and small crack's appearing.The rubber has aged,and time for new
one's.There is no way to stop the ageing process.About 30 yrs.ago,manufacture's
went to steel belted radial's.The Firestone 500 was famous for comeing
unglued,especially at high speed.This was a manufacturing issue,seeing that the
manufacture had us find out the hard way,same for recap's.A few year's back,the
Japanese Toyo tire came on the market,built to our standard's,along with made in
Japan stamped on them.Recently,i looked on one,and no longer is "made in japan"
on them.There now made in China !!.Walmart should be selling them,like all there
other stuff.I retired as a tire and suspension specialist,working 28 year's at
the same major auto dealership.I handled many tire complaint's and used the
latest in high tech equiptment detecting tire problem's.I operated a
road force balance machine that detected problem's in manufacturing,and
scrapped even new tire's.Goodyear tire's that came through on new car's were
junk,from the get go,attributed to quality control,and the almighty dollar and
it's purchasing power.You get what you pay for.Nuff said.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just got watch the video and I am horrified at
the lack of concern by large corporations for the safety of the
American public. It is a sad excuse to make money at our expense. It is time
we as the general public AND the US government to
make businesses in this country hold up to a higher
standard. It is also time that we make them pay for the CRIME of
MURDER for their lassie-faire attitude towards this problem. Maybe if a few
CEO's spent REAL time in jail then they smarten up. </FONT></DIV>
