Gotta weigh the risk, is it worth it if you're wrong?


Careful, your character's showing!

I didn't use it but when I was young I packed the same one in my wallet around for about that long................
And that old joint with it should have been used before it was that old too...


Joints got used much quicker.. They did not require a willing partner of the opposite sex...... LOL

Don't know what brand your tires are, but I have told the story here before ...

The only tires I have EVER had a failure with have been BFG t/a radials.

First one was one that came with a used set of wheels, belts seperated/broke on the road, got a major wobble in the tread, on the road, vacation, to sell the car, new pair of tires and overnight to find tire store put a dent in the profit.

Over a long time I sort of forgot and replaced the worn out set(T/As) on a pickup I had bought with a new set of T/A's.
A couple years later, one got a wobble and was replaced.

A while later, another blew out while the truck was parked.

A friend had two blow out while sitting in his yard on another truck ... parked for repairs fortunately.

T/A s are the best looking lettered tire made IMHO, but I don't trust them anymore.

It would be one thing if it were just me who had problems with them, but I am not.

Oh, and I forgot about the very first set I bought in the '70s.

Out of the first 4 I put on, one was so far out of balance that 16 oz of lead wouldn't bring it into range ...

It takes gasoline to interest me.
