Good advertisment for SUVs Confused Were there any other type of wrecks?

In our country are very popular used tires from Germany etc. They are even worse Huh And most incredible fact, that owners of very fast cars (used M5, M3 etc) use them (new large diameter tires are expensive) Huh Huh Huh

Oh, nothing to worry about: I had tires under my car from 1983. Huh
So 2001 is nothing to worry about! Big Grin Big Grin

Seriously: if I would have known that beforehand I wouldn't have driven that long with these tires... As stated in the video: the marks were on the inside of the wheels and I only read about the production dates two months before I replaced my tires. Undecided

1983 - AE86 Sprinter Trueno - import project
2013 - Honda Civic sport - daily driver
2004 - AEU86 dot ORG - daily domain
