DOT code 0309, third week of 2009 :cry: time for the bin.... only used in winter and stored inside, starting to get vibration.

I used to do 24 to 30k miles a year before I retired, I also had 4 vehicles, now I’m retired I’m down to three.vehicles and about 6k miles, my tire shop thinks they are ok but I don’t like the idea of having one come apart on my 911 at high speed. It would be messy.
