I have a collection of old tires down in the basement. Yeah- some Schwinn Passages... Some National Dual 28s... Some lucky person can have them.

I was going to send a set to someone, but I couldn't get them wrapped up.

When I got my Stumpjumper, it came with a set of Ground Control tires. I rode those tires 6 months or so- they looked dried out, but I thought they were fine. Until the sidewall just decided to split open. Suddenly I had a big "thumb" of the inner tube sticking out the side of the tire.

I would never buy old 10-20-30-40 year old tires.
