<VV> Now tires - a little Corvair

[Ken Clark]

How old do you think a tire should/must be replaced even if it isn't worn out?
My van tires(Michelin) were made in '02, which may be getting to their limit.  Most Corvair tires never get worn out if you drive less than 5M per year.  I thought my Corvair tires were fairly new, but looking at the dates they go back to '03..   Ken

Decent price, performance, and wear - I don't particularly want tires to last 80k, due to the age cracking Joe mentioned. We got 50k out of the tires on her truck, and 45 or so out of the T/As I put on the Neon. The wagon is going to be riding on BFG g-Force Sports as soon as this weekend's rain passes, my guess is we'll replace them due to age, not mileage. They are a summer tire, but in all honesty the Corvairs just don't get driven much when it's cold out and never really in the snow anymore.
