<VV> Piston transplant update

[Dave Keillor]

I have a set of 5 Michelin X tires that are 20 years old and look like
new -- no checking or cracking of any kind.  They've spent most of their
life indoors, but they are getting a bit hard, so they're now on the
spare tire pile.

Hey, if those are genuine high end Michelins, give em another 5 years or
so
... they are probably better at 10 years old ( especially if not setting
in
the sun all this time ) ... than some of the new ones NEW .

**************
Check for ultraviolet dry rot and sidewall cracking and seperation ..
then
run'em bald !!!  That is why you paid the big bucks for the Dough Boy
products.
