Considering most American consumers are complete idiots when it comes to anything they have to research themselves and that they don't even check their own tire pressures, they're taking a one sided view.Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

I for one do appreciate discussion on tire age.
I have a set of potentially 9+ year old tires with 90% tread on them. They've spent the last 6 years indoors. Because of the age - I'm just not comfortable running them. I can see waves in the sidewalls that particularly spook me.
Like I could run them – and maybe I’d be fine – but it’s a gamble I’m not willing to take.
When I was younger – I had a tire blow at 70mph – and it was scary. The tread flapped around and really boogered up the fender.
A few years ago – I purchased a ’72 CB350 Honda. I put new tubes on it – but didn’t think much of replacing the tires. 60mph and the front blew. It was a holy fucking miracle that I had the self control to keep my arms relaxed as the bars wobbled wildly around. There was one of those car-carrying rigs not 5 feet away to my left. Traffic behind me. Longest minute of my life was the time it took to gently bring it down to a stop. Must have smoked 4 cigarettes in a row after that..
Any way – I’ve established an 8 year rule. Anything older than 8 years old – and you’re gambling.
