Vintage tyre

[Nick Salmon]

I am one of the last people to give a hoot about modern ideas on 'elf and safety but I think it would be madness to use such an old tyre on a public highway. A tyre of even a quarter of that age will have severely degraded grip characteristics, especially under emergency braking. And in the event of an accident and/or insurance claim don't be surprised if the police and the insurers check on tyre condition and age...with subsequent consequences.
