tires

[Jack & Donna Smith]

You can see the outside OK, but it's inside that breaks down. Steel
cords rust, and the plies start to seperate. I think car tires do the
same, but they dont carry '16 tons' and are inflated to 100psi. Yes
the older tires will work, but your chance of failure is much greater.
And a blowout on our coaches can result in a strip of rubber beating
the he** out of some expensive surrounding stuff!!
