Once you start collecting them as artifacts that can't be shot, you might as well be collecting stamps or glass figurines.ASM826https://www.blogger.com/profile/04017388670319590449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5503493157036177130.post-23970232993489146272012-10-12T06:04:32.698-07:002012-10-12T06:04:32.698-07:00It is a bit underwhelming.

Put what looked like a new spare tire on, although I knew it had to be over a decade old. It delaminated in about 40 miles. We didn't have an accident, but it was a scary moment. Here's a link talking about tires on antique cars. It includes information on reading the manufacturing codes so you know how old your tires actually are. Do a google search for "old spare tire" and see what you find.<br /><br />http://www.aa1car.com/library/tire_expire.htmASM826https://www.blogger.com/profile/04017388670319590449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5503493157036177130.post-63651985856596761632012-10-10T21:54:24.845-07:002012-10-10T21:54:24.845-07:00If that's the original spare, it's not a s...If that's the original spare, it's not a spare you can use and your old Mustang has no real spare, either. Rubber is a fairly volatile substance, and that old tire very likely would fail dramatically if you tried to drive on it. <br /><br />If your tires are more than 6-7 years old, you might want to google "old spare tire" and look at some of the results. Here's one, speaking specifically about antique cars and older tires that haven't been driven much. It includes information how read the manufacturing codes and determine the date a tire was made. http://www.aa1car.com/library/tire_expire.htm <br /><br />I learned this when I put on a "new" full sized spare tire that had been in the car for over a decade. It delaminated in about 40 miles. It was a pucker moment, although I did maintain control of the car.ASM826https://www.blogger.com/profile/04017388670319590449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5503493157036177130.post-90525873750316665772012-10-10T11:22:19.019-07:002012-10-10T11:22:19.019-07:00Heh.
