I had some Toyo TiS' in my basemet for for several years. There were actually 7 years old, but had never seen sun light. I put them on thinking Id get a little wear before winter. Before 1k miles or so, the left rear blew up against the wall in the HOT lane. All the traffic to my right dead stopped. I was running about 70. I don't know how I kept from hitting at least 3 of those cars, the wall, or peeing my pants. It made a believer out of me. I've got a set in there now that wont fit anything I have in the rear. 295 30 18s. I think they are 5 or 6, brand new tires. If you want them come get em, but I'm a believer in the birthdate thing. I think they engineered them to fail at a certain age depending on the tire.
