<VV> tires at anywhere

[Eric S. Eberhard]

Probably an EXCELLENT idea.  In AZ the only tires I have lost badly have 
been tires with few miles and many years on them.  These are generally 
trailer tires and the Corvairs I don't drive.  The sun and dry air here are 
brutal and the tires disintegrate before they wear out if not used 
much.  On my Sedan the tires looked perfect and had a lot of tread.  One 
day I was sitting in my office and heard a very loud explosion.  I ran out 
side.  The left rear of the Sedan had literally explode in the heat while 
parked.  It was shredded with pieces as far away as 20 feet.  To this day I 
am thankful it did that while parked and not on the freeway!
