Tire age

Timely subject. I put new reproduction E70-14 white letter Goodyear Polyglas tires on the Duster about 7 years ago. 2,000 miles later they still look and perform as new. The car lives in the shop 98% of the time with no weight on the tires.

So the above said, and since they’re not radials how does that work. Still good to run? Modern radials, no way would they be on the road at highway speed.

Yes, I had a blowout on the front of my Dodge Dually at 75 mph on I-20 in Texas. It instantly jumped 10feet to the right. Luck was with me as no one was over there.

Tires were Michelin XPS 235/85/16, 10 ply. About 70% tread, 80 psi, no damage ever and they had turned 6 years old two weeks prior to the blowout.

NO older radials for me.
