tires are a time sensitive commodity, old rubber is bad juju

Son in law has 8 year old tires on the truck he is driving from Sacramento to Reno for school, snowy weather when he started. I told them he needed to replace the tires, he says they have plenty of tread on them, which is not the problem. I turned to my daughter and asked her how much life insurance does she have on him. She thought I was joking. He is starting a new semester. HOT weather on old tires, with plenty of tread. Fortunately, he is driving the commuter utensil Honda that gets double the fuel economy of the truck for the summer.

I am calling my guy at Radial Tire Service next time I "borrow" his truck.
