| Posted: | | | | [deleted] Personally I found the information quite useful. It was something I was not aware of and is something I will watch for. Fact is, after I read the article he linked I went out and checked out the tires on my two vehicles (both OK) and then forwarded the information to my sons to check their tires. To Srethims - THANKS! A huge from me (along with a for the information) [deleted] EDIT: Post edited by lyonsden5 after cvermeylen changed his post. Kudos cvermeylen | | | Last edited: by lyonsden5 |

Aged Tires: A Hidden Danger on the Road? I actually heard about this before, but nobody could tell me how to find out how old the tire were. Have a green arrow for that! | | | The future is here. It's just not widely distributed yet. (William Gibson) |

| Posted: | | | | I participated in an ADAC driver's safety training (which has nothing to do with driving school) where you put yourself and your car in all kinds of unusual situations. There I really noticed how bad my tires had gone. They still have enough profile but they are eleven years old and they didn't had much grip on any kind of wet underground. That was an "interesting" experience. (The funniest part of that training was the test where you driver your car while it's "raining" over a movable plate and then it suddenly jerks yoour back tires to the right or to the left and you have to prevent that your car skids arond itself and to prevent to hit any "walls" (simulated by water fountains).) | | | Karsten DVD Collectors Online

I haven't tried theat exact maneuver, but that kind of training is a mandatory part of your training when you get your license. It was fun! Especially because there were a few people getting a license for bus, so there was 4 or 5 busses on the course, and seeing a bus going sideways is a pretty special experience... | | | The future is here.
