Tires...Tires...Tires?

Bought some nice looking wheels with tires awhile back for sons car. The tires had a lot of tread and looked good. Worked fine around town for awhile. Took it on the highway and after about an hour one threw the tread. Looked at the date code on tires and they were more than 10 years old. Lucky it didn’t tear up the car. I will never run old tires again.
