While I know that tire folks are hesitant, or even decline to work on older tires for the "safety" factor I can attest to the fact that I just drove 3,000 miles this March on 13 year old tires. The v

Well, the discussion has made me nervous. My Midget was brought over from England in 1980 and the Goodyear tires on the car read "Made in England". They have decent tread left and they 'look' good. I
