I got this in my email. I had no idea that this was a problem. This is pretty serious. How many of the racing tires that everyone has on their cars are old. Can you imagine what going that fast and having your tires mess up like that would do?

holy shit.......so my original tires from 01 are no longer safe???
ok being employed by the tire industry, why would you not inform the public of the 6 year rule....would you not sell more tires
costs them money? what are they supposed to do with all their old tires? loss of profit possibly??
well hopefully by the time they are 6 years old they are out our door, its on the buyer to keep a correct inventoryQuote:

Not only that, but you rid yourself of the liability of some asshat suing you because they are driving a 10 sec car with old tires.Quote:

Whats up with the Goodyear Integrity man? Fuckers wear out so goddamn fast lol I love my goodyear wranglers on my jeep though. Best tire I've ever had for that thing. Ride smooth, great traction, nice and quiet. Last long.Quote:

I raced a gt500 from 40 to 105 and he got 1/2 lenght since Im auto and he is stick, and I didnt know we were about to race. at 105 I had my 1/2 back and he let out. I would have started pulling so hard. This 2 seater convertible ways 800 pounds more than my long bed full size pickup. had to use 3 diff transport companies. It is way to heavy. 4450lbs. accelerates faster from 100mph than to 100mph.
I was unaware that there are 27 months in a year. lol.Quote:
