I believe Wilson had THREE old rally tires (NOS) blow out at Sandblast 2008. At least one of them was on a transit and sent him off the road and into the ditch (luckily not across oncoming lanes of traffic)....

$200 sounds fair. (like I have any idea) PM me an address to send a check to. (seems easier than sending $200 worth of beer and meds) I'll see if I can work something out with JVL for shipping.

I had a set of old Michelins literally fall apart after a rallycross. Almost every treadblock was gone on the entire tire. The age was completely unknown, but they were older than 5 years is all I know.
Hankook's don't seem to hold up well to age. We've been running Tanner's old tires from 2006 and they seem to be degrading relatively quick.

Found another celica for free.

Be great if you need parts and stuff, or spares.
