The Tires on my Tbird date back to 1964, they were made with REAL rubber and
look good as new inside and out, I wouldn't want to cruise on a hot highway
with them though....
I wonder if the treadwear ratings will start to drop, they are pretty high
these days but no sense in having tires last 80Kmi if they will never see
that.

Okay, that's what I was afraid of. I don't think any of my Type 3s
have tires with 4 digit date codes....
