Ughhh I hate these threads. My tires BFG were mounted in 2000 so they are 14 years old now. WELL taken care of as the car has always been parked in the garage and they haven't been beaten on. As soon as I get enough money to even think about replacing them it gets wiped out b/c of some other emergency. My other fear is that the quality of tires has taken a SEVERE dump due to the Chinese and other crappy mfg practices so I know I will not get the years that I am used to getting. I just don't have $700 spare dollars to put into them right now - crap!
Glad you were okay and your car did not suffer any damage.
