The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Why don't we get a decent mileage from our tires?

Just yesterday I searched for the manufacturing code on my Firestones. It's 191, so they were made in the 19th week of 1991, a mere 22 years old, and are still like new with not as much as a hairline crack anywhere.

I'd say if I can get another 25 years out of them, which is when I'll be 81 and probably too old to enjoy any of my old cars, I'll be a happy camper.
