i still think thats just news hype bull[shizzle], but . the last set of tires i purchased had an oily coating on them to keep them soft and rubbery, i doubt they are gonna start to dryrot unless you leave them outside for 6 years.
i still remember when they said my moms car wouldn't start after y2k and my mom went out and payed some shady mechanic $100 for a y2k upgrade
fear mongering helps expose the lemmings of society
94 mx6 - you name it - I did it, came up with it, tried it and rejected it or just plain still have it. **Now in the caring hands of Chef** 93 mx3 - klze, i/h/e, rims and paint.. **FS - on a lift, has an engine, just need to put them together. I have no time. come buy it cheap. 98 jeep GC - 5.9L with bolt ons, lifted, locked. 32x10.5 Goodyear MTR winter/ 30x9.5 bfg ta/ko summer. Custom steel bumpers + armor. "the beast" 98 jeep GC - 5.9L with every bolt on + tune. My street jeep. small tires, but runs 13's
It's not like there's some magical process. If i buy tires, and they look pitted, i ask for a new set. you can see right away if they have "dry rotted"
the news creates panic over what, in my opinion is just common sense.

I love how in the video they show shots of treads on the freeways, when it was clearly from a truck. Just look at the tread style, and semis often use retreads.
We use tires from the late 60's to the 1970's at my dads farm... never a problem, even while (very) severely overloading them. I think GC hit the nail on the head.

(and a bunch of other [shizzle] like DD's etc etc)
the tires on my mx6 are cracked and pitted to hell. there is flat spots and chunk missing and the are hard as hell on certain spots. their creation date? 4th week of 2006. they have sat in a field for almost a year in a half and have rotted to hell. figured id give an example of why they would turn to suck.
