I bought my Model A in 2014 and noticed Garfield Tires were on the car. They looked real good and I never gave them much thought. The other day I noticed the driver's side front is getting worn (No, I never rotated them).

I put the spare on and ordered two new front tires from Mike's. I then realized the date code was from.....1981!!!! Yikes the tires are 45 years old. I did a little checking and found out Garfield tires are no longer made. They sure did last.

I guess I should replace the rear two now that I know how old they are. I can't believe they wore that good.
