Age of "new" tires

There was a question ( I think on the B side) about the age of a set of Goodyear polyglas. They were soft, next to no wear, very few cracks......... and they were 45 years old. I guarantee the stuff they are making now won't look like that in 45 years......

In the early 90s, I bought a clean and soild running 68 Coronet 4 Dr. For 300 in change! Had a set of original bias plys... ran em on my big block 4 spd Coronet with 4:56 gears and open headers around town... they worked well. Till I burned em slap off!
