Replaced what looked like a brand new set of Michelins on my 65 Mustang when I bought it. Turns out they had less than 2,000 miles on them but were 16 years old. Just the thought of one of them blowing on that ancient front end when I was doing 60 mph had me at the tire shop the next day. Been 5+ years and I have almost 1500 miles on them now. Few more and they will be replaced.
Some mornings, it just does not feel worth it to chew through the straps!~
