Note that, for instance.Coker Tires, when they sell older tires includes the proviso "For display purposes only."  They recommend that a second set of wheels with modern tires be used to drive to the show, and then a switch to the vintage whels and tires for the duration of the show only.

Anyone ever see videos of old spare tires blowing up a trunk?

 

Pretty gnarly stuff.

 

 

I have a truck that the previous owner never drove and kept 20+ year tires on it in the parked in the sun. One blew up sitting at rest.

 

I've had just the tread come off going 55 on a highway before, did a little unintentional lane changing. Jacked the metal up around it pretty bad also.
