I know this topic has been beaten to death but....
My low mileage '74 2.0L has tires that are over 10 years old with under 2K miles. Should I replace these because they are older and possibly unsafe? The current tires are 165R15....if I replace them I'm thinking of going with the Vredestein Sprint Classic in 165/HR15. Thoughts.... Attached thumbnail(s) |

I'd replace them. That having been said the tires on my car would be 26 years old IF they were installed the day it was garaged in Portland Or. in 1990. I doubt they were.(I haven't checked date codes). I drive my car everyday on those tires. I know,........ the shock and horror! I would never drive on those tires if it weren't for the fact that I drive it 3/4 of a mile each way to work, under 25 MPH, as it's a residential commute. I can feel how "square" they are. It's not like I don't want to replace them but with 4 kids and medical bills it's not in the cards right now. BDMF for sure. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
