Common Tireman, I'm not confusing that any more than I would confuse the function of expander tube brakes with disc brakes.
We are talking tires here. Try and analyze what I said and what impact the unknown has on the subject. When something is injected to prevent something it often causes some side effects. Could the injection of ozone inhibitors designed to offset early tire cracking have a side effect on the same tires aging? That’s all I was writing about. I know there is a very low probability of any positive answers. It’s a discussion forum about tires. Does the ST tire suffer more from these injections than other tire designs? Would it help to explain the ST tires 3-5 year life expectancy?
I wonder what happens to such tire additives when they set unexercised for five or six months in the desert states during the summer months? Cracking on the top half of the tires and nice smooth sides on the lower half?
