Another tire question
My Michelin tires are just starting to show some barely detectable cracking. tire dates are 24/12 so a little over 5 years old. I keep them cover whenever stored. Any idea how much long I can run ...

I suspect not many here have had the opportunity of mounting and balancing tires. Some of the tire build quality can be judged by out of roundness, side to side run out and the amount of weight required to balance the tire. Ask any good independent tire shop what they see. It might surprise you.

Most every tire has paint marks(yellow, red, or white) that indicate how the tire should be mounted and orientated to the valve stem, etc.
Most "tire installers" who mount the tires have no idea what those marks mean.
That's because the valve hole on the wheel isn't consistently a mark for anything. It's usually randomly drilled.
