Had a flat the other day in my wife's 1999 Honda so I pulled out the original spare and put it on. Got about a mile down the road and that tire blew up. Went to a tire store and bought two tires. When the tech looked at my blown out spare he said that tire is a 1999 and is just no good anymore even though it has never been on the car. The tire was on a spare rack on the back door covered....Sun and heat killed it !!
I bought a 1972 Ford F250 from an oldtimer, I changed the front set of tires out and saved them because I am still running the old set of Kirkland tires he bought back in 2000. I am out in the Desert heat and when these old ones blow I plan to run the other two I took off until they blow. Been 4 years now. Granted I don't go far but its now an experiment to see how long I can go with them.
