Thanks. I would definitely expect them to say this since they are in the business of selling tubes and as a CYA statement but it’s good advice, especially if you do not know the age of the old tube.
I’m definitely not changing the tubes on the BMW, (I installed them new in 2017, top quality tubes), and I’m replacing the front one on the Triumph but the rear was back ordered. I guess that the front is more important but a rear blow-out at speed would suck as well. I’m going to err on the side of caution but I’m like an annoying little kid...I always want to know WHY?
