Following is an excerpt from TOM'S JOURNAL about how unsafe many tires being sold as new really are. In a nutshell, tires sold as new, never having been used, may have been sitting in a warehouse for four, five, six, or more years, & there have been documented instances of failure of these "new" tires. There is a link to a video clip from 20/20 that airs on ABC.
Please pass it on to as many people as you know. It could save someone's life. Thanks for sharing this, Tom!
THERE IS A SHORT COMMERICAL VIDEO AT THE BEGINNING, LET IT PLAY BEFORE WATCHING THIS IMPORTANT MESSAGE. SHOCKING!!
This is a video of a segment that aired on the well-known ABC TV program, "20/20." Please watch this; and, for Heaven's sake, whatever you do, pass this along to everyone you know!

I had never heard of this before. This is worth watching.
Check your tires and read the code on (the inside of) your tires...a worthwhile safety tip

I remember a boycott against Firestone in my early teenage years because of unsafe tires that were made.
I buy mine used anyway but thanks for the update!! *M*
Good job, Dirk! Thank you for helping me spread the word about faulty tires in America--- and it is just another sham and lie visited on good, honest, hard working people who are being cheated and murdered on our highways nowdays. "One hand washes another."
