Wouldn't surprise me a bit IF all the above is true, and how it would work  
out. I'm probably just as cynical. :O
 
However, Like Dave Hall (who's in England), I prefer to have good or new  
rubber on any kind of road trip I take in my T-3's. I mean, if you go thru a 
car  like I do, then having worn out or old rubber isn't worth the damage it 
can  cause (that I've probably just fixed). For a couple of new tires is 
cheap  insurance against a blow out. Granted I get the road hazard with them, 
due to  all sorts of projectiles laying on our highways. That 10 to 12 bucks 
is well  spent, when you bring 1 in with a piece of re-bar tie sticking out 
of the upper  side wall (I had that happen 3 days after replacing a pair). 
I've also had a  belt go on an older car (the tires were old too), and it 
tore up a 1/4 panel  before I could get stopped. :O  It's things like that, 
that make use newer  tires on cars, rather than trying to milk out another 
couple of years because  the tires are only about 1/2 worn.
