be sure to check your spare occasionally.  had a flat in wesern oregon and put
on old michelin spare.  coming down long mountain road close to grants pass i
heard a loud bang, felt something hit me in the arm, saw pieces of rubber
flying into the air and the left rear wheel well getting beat to ----.  pulled
over and discovered tire had blown large pieces of rubber off the casing,
WHICH WAS STILL HOLDING AIR.   no idea how old spare was, but will keep speed
down on tire of unknown age from now on.  healeymanjim
