[Tigers] Blow out

[David T Johnson]

I agree.  But where can you buy decent 13 in tires.
I'm looking for 185x70x13.  I need 5 for me Pie Mags.
I have Firestone after intensive web searches.
 
Any suggestions will be gratefully accepted.

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.
