Yes, and those were original tires if I remember. Frankly, that is just
asking for an accident.
Tires over 6 years old, are old tires, regardless of the tread left on
the tires.
So, $400 or so for a new set of tires vs a real problem.
Do you know how old your tires are, that is the production date molded
on the tire, not when your purchased it.
