Let's see, my youngest tire is over 10 years old and the oldest is over 15.
Using my most creative statistical approach, I have less chance of having a
blowout than you - if it lasted this long, what's the odds it will blow in the
next mile? So, send me you old tires - must be at least 10 years old or they
won't match the ones I have..... And if you have a bridge to sell, I'll take a
look at that, too.:-)

Gary,
It's Sunday morning here in Orlando and I haven't had my coffee yet so I
don't get what you are saying below.
Are you saying it's OK to run tires longer than Michelin's recommendations?
Regards,
Rob
