I have the advantage of comparing against another car of mine. An easy knock of the knuckle against the tyre wall is enuff to convince me.I once tried to pull the change of tyres to the 3 year mark and suffered a "slow" tyre blow-out at speed, luckily it was a FWD car and affected one rear tyre. Managed to control the car and stop at the roadside to change it.Just last week, on my PV6, with tyres that were installed in January 2005, I suffered another puncture when I hit a stone on the Elite. Went to repair the tyre, found a small crack in the rubber. I ditched all the tyres (even though the rears had about 3/4 thread left) for 4 new Contis.... (ok OMGWTF, will heed your advice on the Conti's handling when old)Ok, ok, it was my rear that blew, the one with the 3/4 thread left.... go figure.</blockquote>
