Consultation on 10 year old tyres

[Tom the Blacksmith]

Another point is to check if your insurance compay has a tyre age limit. I was talking to a mate the other day who hit a deer in his xk140, insurance chap went out to view the vehicle and the first thing he checked was the age of the tyres, even before viewing the damage! Chances are if the tyres were "too old" they wouldn't have paid out, fortunately he'd put new boots on the previous week.
