Back in the day I thought the 8 y.o. Michelin XZX tires on my 1975 Civic were okay.
They amazingly had decent tread left at nearly 80,000 miles.
Then a dew-dampened road and a panic stop due to a truck running a stop sign caused my little go-cart of a car to swap ends in the blink of an eye.
No collision, but I learned that when it comes to tires, appearance ain’t everything!
