I never really thought much about the age of my tires...until Thursday when I was driving on the highway. My 'bird started vibrating, front end, at 65mph. So I slowed to 60...better. Then started vibrating again. Put in neutral and revved engine. No change. Slowed to 55. Better.
10 minutes later, it started vibrating again...wiggling like a fish! Got off the interstate and drove to destination at street speeds...all the time getting a little worse. When I putted along...I noticed my passenger side fender raising and lowering...and was relieved. I thought my tranny or universal joints were going out on me.
The belts were separating on my Goodrich TA's. I had PLENTY of tread on them...probably 25k miles worth! But, upon closer examination, if I read the code correctly, the tires were made in 1987.
Check your tires guys. This could have been ugly.
I'm going to post this elsewhere so all see this.
