Do you like to gamble? Most games of chance have the odds against you. Replace them! At that age they can come apart like a hand grenade. There are always the ones that say they are driving around on old tires, don't listen to them. At 40-50 mph you have four time bombs attached to your car... chances are you won' t get any warning before the explosion!
