I have had too many such stories and it is obvious that new tyres are needed. So I will use the current old ones while I finish the car (still lots of jobs to do!) and when it is ready for the road

My local tire guy (also an MGB owner) says that in '87 they went with a 4 digit code. So the XZX's that came off my 78 B that looked great but had a code of 049 would have been manufactured at the en

I think Steve is right on this one. I believe newer tires have a 4 diget date code. Larry Hoy Check out the new British Cars Forum: http://www.team.net/the-local/tiki-view_forum.php?forumId=8

10 years are pretty old and hard. I'd scrap them. The old Michelin's on my car were really hard, I was afraid they'd blow out. T rated are probably fine. Often, in these sizes, H aren't any more expe

They are too old and I am thinking you may want to find a tire more up to the car as it is now powered. There are some very good tires out there that People can direct you to. I know that Yokohama ma

So, does anyone on the list know what to expect for tire life expectancy? Do tires vary by manufacturer and quality of tire? Do tires break down at varying rates depending on exposure to sun or the e

Yes, there are date codes on tires, but I don't remember how to read them. Back in the early eighties I bought a beautiful 30,000 mile 72 B for $80 (really) that had been sitting for a long time, the
