They’re still junk. It’s like guys thinking it’s ok to run 30+ year old tires. You wanna run around with a time bomb? Rubber oxidizes and deteriorates, it is a simple fact of its chemical composition.
don't disagree, it was time to replace, especially since my original ball joints needed to be replaced with close to 1/8" of play in the driver's side....
I'm feeling a little nervous on my 13 year old front tires, planning on replacing them soon, I've got 3 cars that all need tires at the same time.....
