I don't know about this. I wonder if 20/20 isn't starting another public media scare unnecessarily. How often have we been told don't use some product and then a year later they reverse that decision. Can we always trust the media?

I bought my wife a new Buick LeSabre in 1990. She put 20,000 miles on it over the next ten years and the tires still looked like new when we traded it in in 2000 on a new Toyota Avalon. (She hates getting new cars! She drove our new 1962 Nova for 20 years!) Her Avalon now has a little over 12,000 miles on it and those tires look great, as well.

I'd never risk the life of the one I love on bad tires, but I think this is just another sensational report to draw a TV audience. I worry more about drunk drivers on the highway and the government doesn't seem to be able to control that! And then there are those who speed way above the legal limits ... there is real danger.

I can see you southern alumni worrying about this where the road surface reaches terribly high temperatures in the summer. On the expressway your tires can get really hot. (Touch a tire after a drive on the interstate on a July afternoon in Texas and you will see what I mean.) But I still think this is overplayed. I'll stick to our current tires here in Pennsylvania.
