That is thought provoking.
I am wondering whether I should replace the spare tire since it is now a quarter-century old. I have a 20-year-old Mercedes C230. When the valve stem on the Mercedes' compact spare failed, I asked Discount Tire to replace the valve stem. The service writer told me that they couldn't work on a tire of that age due to liability issues. I eventually found a garage that would replace it, but I am aware that tires deteriorate with age. It might be best to consider my experience with Discount Tire "a word to the wise."
