I remember the Dauphines and R10s. When the Michelin tires wore out at 80k miles, it was time to throw the car away. Cooling system sealed for life, however short that might be. I once watched a R10 (maybe R8?) pass a cement truck that had a huge bulge in the side of the left front tire. He got right beside the tire when it blew and that Renault did 4 360s in the grass median. The driver literally crawled out of the car on his hands and knees. I had seen the bulge in the trucks tire and passed him quickly before it blew.
