You know what is funny, I have several old cars with radials on them back home in Nebraska. All the tires on them are way too old, but they still hold air.

Back to the current tires, I was a mail carrier. All my route cars don't get driven enough now, and the tires are rotting away. My "good" car is a Corolla, age is killing those tires also.
