The dangers of tire age

The following link is from an ABC news story from May, I believe. I found it very interesting. This is the link to the story:

I hope I cut and pasted this correctly. I know this subject has been talked about many times but this is the first time I have seen a news story about it.

Tom,

That was extremely enlightening, I had no idea. Thanks for sharing. I'm almost afraid to go check out all my vehicle tires.

For some reason I saw the segment when it aired. I am not worried. I wear out my tires long before they age. I am already on my second set of tire for my two year old truck and my two year old trailer. My motorcycle is probably going to need new tires by the end of the summer.
