Tires seem to have a very short shelf life now days. Dry rot and hardening are not a new thing obviously, but it sure seems like the shelf life is a whole lot shorter now days that what it was most of my life. Which makes me wonder. Do we just know more now? Or are they made differently now? Was it a change forced on them? (environmental reasons for example) Was it a changed that happened for financial reasons? (they just make them cheaper) Or was it intentional, for financial reasons? (forced obsolescence)

No idea if reduced life of the rubber in tires was intentional or just because it was cheaper to make them the way they're made now, but it's definitely real. Last year we got one of my dad's old Norton's running and took turns doing a few test rides up and down the road on the original tires from 1973. The tubes held air and the tires had very little cracking. I took it up to about 70mph without any issues.
This year I pulled my mom's old 1983 Suzuki GR650 out to use as a cheap work commuter, and the tires were cracked like crazy and pretty rotten. They still had lots of tread and the bike has always been parked inside away from the sun, and those tires were only from 1997.

A guy I worked with had a mid 60s Ford Falcon wagon he drove every day. One day maybe 6 of us are standing around and ford guy makes to leave. Falcon won’t start. So he pops the hood to look. One of the younger guys says “I wonder what’s wrong?” 3 of us in unison say “That’s how you start a Ford”.

Ah…good times.

^ STA-BIL says up to two years. Diesel...not so sure. I've seen far more fuel issues with diesel than gas. Lots of RV owners are shocked when the engine doesn't start after six months and the tech tells them the tank needs to be drained and cleaned plus new filters. If you want to accelerate the process, use bio-diesel.

THIS is the way to prevent that black death from stopping up your fuel system:

Bio Kleen Diesel Fuel Biocide Treatment

This dual-phased biocide kills microbes in fuel, including bacteria and fungus. Use this to rid your diesel fuel system of microbial contamination.

We were living the best of America and didn't even know it.
110 octane Chevron out of the white pump @$.63 a gallon.
Big block 440s pulled out of junkyard Imperials stuffed full of 12 1/2 TRW's and big Direct Connection camshafts.
906s reworked the best we could with the Direct Connection Battleship Springs.
8 inch torque converters pulled out of Chevy Vegas (would roll all the fins over after about every third pass) so show up at the dragstrip with a six pack of them (we later learned to cut the torque converter's open braze weld the fins).
A B&M Cheetah manual valve body with a B&M quick click shifter .


Get Dana 60 custom offset wide steel rims and axles here contact-dutchman-axles.html add a spool with 4:56s and a set of M/T slicks and front runners.

Pull up.
Line lock stall that engine until the carburetor was banging against the hood.


Smoke Winston cigarettes and drink Blitz beer.

Come on GEN Xers and Gen Xers children let's turn this all around let's make America a place for individuals of self governance.

Preach Rev!

One of the best songs ever. The poetry at the end deals the deal.

Then of course, Manfred Man’s Blinded by the Light. I know Bruce Springsteen wrote it, but I don’t care.

I won’t disagree with the department of education reference.

But ask yourself the question:

Who was responsible for creating it staffing it and who were running the schools by that point. 20- and 30-somethingsomething former 60s hippie radicals.

Who the hell do you think is running the Senate and the deep state now? All these septagenarian fruit bats are former Woodstock acid washed hippies who infiltrated government and are trying to create their shining path before they die.

And huge numbers of them were compromised by the KGB back in the 1960s. Because through the US Canada Institute and other fronts, the Soviet union was massively driving the peace movement and the drug movement and all the other radicals.

Yep, it took them until the 1970s. And then another 40 years to get to where they run everything. But make no mistake about it. These are fullbore communist radicals at every level.

Fortunately, they’re all going to die soon. Of old age. And I have a lot of faith in Gen X and their ability to bring us back from the brink.

Cheers.

Syndactyly!! What a cool way to make humor of your birth defect!

Funny story
In the 70s ( I was about 10 Yo) my grandparents neighbors had a daughter about my age and I would go visit in the summer for a couple of weeks. We would hang out and play together. One day she whispered in my ear that she had a secret and wanted to show me something.. Well my imagination ran wild, Then she took off her tennis shoes and showed me her toes. She had Polydactyly, 6 toes on one foot and 7 on the other.
To this day I am still kinda fuckered up because of that. To this day if I see a woman's bare feet I have to count their toes.

War on men. Not surprising based on the dykes and cunts who dominate education. When men ran schools, they produced better citizens.

Would that be during the days of Calvin Coolidge?

So that would have been on State Line? You love the XJ6 S3? They spanned a lot of years.
You mentioned golf balls but never mentioned the condition of the inner liner of the tire as I suspect could have been a heat issue. Also, you never addressed the year nor the tire brand, I have very little to go on.

There was Major and that was down on Main getting close to downtown. The other one was Roach. I actually worked at both, along with a VW, Chevy and Pontiac dealers. Finally I ended up at Pontiac proper

I so want to go see that race sometime. But it is an absolute circus and just getting a tent site is ridiculous.

So... going to watch on TV. I think Vintage LeMans might be more fun.

BTW, the 24 Hours of Daytona is absolutely the best race I ever went to. So much fun. No crowds. And great time of year to not be in New England.

Sirhr

Was that before or after NASCAR ruined it?
