Great reply Capri, but that opens up a couple more questions.

What enviromental factors contribute to aging a tire prematurely? Heat, Load, use? I am sure some of these factors can be traced back to improper inflation, meaning low tire pressure, which induces riding on the sidewall for example. Or can we throw in temperature extremes like driving in Florida during the summer, or a winter in Green bay.

Does lack of use contribute to said failures ...

So many questions so little people willing to answer .. LOL
