right at 5:00 mins proves the tire manufacturers association is a bunch of FUCKTARDS. its no big secret that tires do go bad after a period of time, just like everything else. our motorcycling world has known this for a LONG ASS time.

Sounds somewhat realistic depending on the tire and the size, weight and riding style of the bike and rider. Get one of those super long lasting tires that wont wear out for 70k mi and pussy foot or dont turn and it may just last about 100k mi.

The front I crashed my Buell on was installed at the factory, delivered to the dealer in Feb 07, ridden for 6 miles, and then stored with the bike until I bought it in July 09. I knew it was stale as shit and it almost killed me.
For comparison the new BT021 on my ZX6 is a better, more consistent tire than the stale year and a half old Pirelli Corsa 3 that lowsided my ass into 6 months of pain.

Maybe for bikes, but for cars it's not a big deal. Right now I have some tires that are 10 years old with somewhere between 40-50K miles on them, and they grip just fine. BTW vid doesn't work.

I don't like the fact that they kept showing highway tractor tires on the side of the road. It was like they were trying to say they were car tires when clearly they were not. I do believe that they can come apart. And a tread can last longer then the tire itself can but if the tire goes then the tread doesn't mean shit. I have tossed tires with that were still above the wear bar because of dry rot. James

the issue brought up with car tires wasnt grip, its that they can come apart in normal driving situations. |

Maybe old tires are the problem the report makes it out to be, but the shitty reporting calls that contention in to question for me. |

Tires that are 4 years old should fine for a trip. James
