As per Paul F, Yep those tyre's are shot! Again take things on a known basis, see how the tyre's improve the drive/ride and move on as necessary! You will be shocked at the difference!
Here's the M.O.T. opinion:
Tyre's should really be changed if not worn out at 6 years old(in use).
A 10 year old tyre should be condemned and on light commercial vehicles and above would fail on that date alone.
A new fitted tyre can be considered new regardless of the tyre date mark at up to 5 years old on that manufacture date!
Then of course all tyre wear and damage descriptions apply also.
So, a tyre that has been used should not really be considered viable when it has been in use for 6 years. at the moment car classed vehicles have no condemn date that is applicable by test or law.
Something to watch out for on a Morgan tyre change is the tyre date mark. You are unlikely to wear them out so you want to have maximum time with them at peak performance, ie. six years of time on the car. so insist on tyre's made that year.
Remember the Morgan classic has no driver aids so tyre adhesion in all weathers is vital ...... just change your tyre's when they reach 6 years old! the car will drive so much better on new rubber and it might just save your life.
I so wish selling garages would respect this necessity and also any other so called professionals who gives confidence by saying things like, they can see no issues! Its a bit like selling a gun knowing the safety catch doesn't work and not saying anything! Main dealers selling cars with 12 year old tyre's and older, fitted from new ,and telling the buyer it's got tyre's that look like new! I think that is criminal!
quality branded tyres for most morgan cars/drivers can be bought for under £300 for 5 tyre's!
