Re: Tire age

The tires on my truck looked ok when I got it. After driving it for a year left front came apart, taking the brake line with it. Came very close to rolling over. Damage fender door and rocker. My advise is if you even think it needs to be replaced, do it.

Re: Tire age

Here's the LR quarter of my Blazer after a blowout. The tires looked good, but they were old.

I guess it just comes down to how safe you want to feel riding on your tires.
