Joe,

My SWB 4x4 had 34 yr old fiberglass belt (original) tires when the truck was driven from Anaconda, Montana to Kansas City. I contacted Uniroyal to have thm verify their originality (DOT code on inside of tire). They verified the tires were from mid 72. The first line of their e-mail said to never drive on extremely old tires. Maybe they know what they are talking about.
