Hi List

I have one of my dumb questions.

I don't know how old the tyres on my 3 are.  I've had
the car a year and a half.  I think the tyres were on
the car when the previous owner bought it.

They are Michelins with lots of tread and no cracking
on the sidewalls I can see.  In the 70's I had
michelins on my old 911 and when they got old the
tread seperated from the body.  Those tires looked
fine till they exploded.

Is there a way to tell if they are OK?
Since this is a safety issue if there is no way to
tell I will have to pop for new tyres.

Thanks,
