Dear Re- tired

I did not note the comments in posting about new tires -
i did scan the 43 odd pics in the drop box -

Weather and wear are the last marks of  tire on the way out -
and if New when new ??
new last week - new last year or new just before 1 st day of storage ?

specifically you are correct i should not have made such a old statement
that THAT rubber i past due date - i should have continued on the
speculative path of questioning rather than statements - you caught me with
muh grammar out of place ...

regards
