Regulators to probe Goodyerar MH tire failures

I find it interesting that they are investigating tires that were built 15 years ago. Back in 1998 when I had 7 year old Michelins explode on me the top US quality guy for Michelin told me that was normal and I must be an idiot for having anything over 6 years old still in service. At the same time tire dealers with old inventory were claiming that their tires were just fine. It would be nice to come with some standards for how long tires should last. Until then I am not going to push mine more than 6 or 7 years.
