Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

With tire prices going up like everything else. I have a set of tires that are 9 years old. Can I still trust them. Maybe after soaking them in 303 for a few weeks???

POST 3Original post

It depends on how they were stored. It's an Ahhrenius equation based on time and temperature and UV light exposure. In a cool dark basement way up in the snowbelt for 9 years, they might still be good. But id sure want to run some hardness tests on that rubber. Short answer - probably too old except for use on a boat dock as bumpers. .

POST 4Original post

I just swapped out 6 year old tires that came with my c2 to brand new tires today and OmG what a difference. I had the shocks and some suspension parts done last week and the tires were far more noticable of a difference . that doesnt answer your how safe question, but ride quality was night and day.
