Just an FYI. We are selling a neibhbor our derilict 2004 Subaru outback (240,000 miles) for $1.
I feel bad about taking the guy's money.
I am tired of having it for a lawn ornement. The only thing it is good for is hauling wood around the property and checking my bike jump packs when the battery dies.
The engine runs. That is the good news.
Of the many things that dont work, the tires were made in 2012. They are almost down to the wearbars.
My NT tires are just at about 5 years old now. They probably went on 3 years ago.
I dont know how much truth there is in the advice that all bike tires need to be replaced after five years of age.
Any SAE type evidence that the tires should be replaced say every 6 years even if they were stored inside out of the sun?
I am all for safety. But if the real world deterioration is miniscule, I might go to 7. Depends on evidence
