What I find so interesting is, back in the 70's and 80's I never bought new tires for my street machines. When I got bored with the mags I was running I simply went to the local swap meets and bought wheels/tires as a set which were obviously used with no idea of date or age, then put them on and proceeded to drive the snot out of them and never had a blowout nor a concern for one. Like everything else these days, few things are made the way they used to be.
