Full disclosure, I am running those Michelins on my car after taking them off my 17 year old daughters 300D. At that age, they are cracked and rotted, but still roll true. I figure if they go I would rather them blow on my car than hers.

In 2019, I had a set of 4 Yokohama P195/70R-14 Avid Touring tires on the car. They were 6 years old at that time and had 28,000 miles (not a lot to my way of thinking) on them. I was driving 60 MPH on an interstate, dry road and clear weather, had only been driving for 15-20 minutes, no loud noises, and suddenly the back right tire blew out. A light load, too: The only things in the trunk were the spare tire, an emergency kit, and a bag of tools...and no passengers either. The tire shop attributed the failure to age and found nothing that would indicate otherwise. Not a rigorous scientific analysis, but there I was. So, in short, I'm a bit weary of driving my car on tires 5+ years old - just my opinion. Last edited by dogguy; 02-07-2025 at 02:33 PM. |
