If you go to my MISC folder, second page I have pictures of a friend's 40 coupe that burned due to a very old bias ply Left Rear tire (all were old) that blew out, took out the filler neck, and sparks from the rim set it blazing. Had just filled the tank and was on a tour. Luckily all occupants got out. The 4 pictures show what old tires can do.
