I'd be the first to admit the tyres on my car are 'a few years old' but they are fundamentally sound. Tyres from several decades ago must be regarded as suspect. As others have said in this and other threads, they would no doubt get you home, or perform adequately for odd runs to the pub and back - but that's not the point: It's how they perform in the 2 seconds when you have to swerve to avoid a pile-up on a fast dual-carriageway and everything is going sideways that might make the difference between an ugly death for you and your passenger and a gripping story to tell at the office. These things happen rarely, but when they do, decent tyres can be a life saver.
Well said Robert - high time our councils took responsibility for disposing of our waste (like we pay them to) or better still re-purposing and up-cycling it, instead of turning a profit from the juicy bits.
