Probably rode on tires that should have been scrapped, but only had one flat on a street bike and that was on the goldwing rear tire. Picked up a nail. Strictly ride offroad now. As far as tire expiration, I think a lot of it has to do where those tires are manufactured. In the RV industry, cheap chinese made tires are usually installed at the factories with speed ratings that most owners never look at. Called china bombs because they have a tendency to come apart at highway speeds, doing thousand of dollars in damage. I would hope those manufacturing tires for bikes would make sure they put out a superior product, but It's all about the money with the import tires.</blockquote>
