    Boys and girls,

    Speaking from the industrial side of things, rubber has a shelf life of 5 
years, period. Why? Because it is too costly to shut down processes to replace 
premutarely failed product. When it comes to suppling a customer with a gasket, 
O-ring, diaphragm, expansion joints, etc., we take a strong look at when 
product is produced. Many gasket sheets, for instance will have a stamp like 
3Q05; meaning it was manufactured in the third quarter of 2005. Another 
important consideration is how long has it sat on a distributors shelf before 
being sold. Of course, there are other factors to be considered such as 
environment, packaging, how it was stored, etc. but these don't come into play 
with tires. 

    How can I say this with out sounding ugly; Dan Z.  from the Rubber 
Manufacturers Assoc. is a liar! He seals his fate when he states "...without 
any scientific information to back it up". Bull Sh!t. He knows good and damn 
well, if he can read, that there is a shelf life associated with rubber. If he 
is not informed, why is he the spokesperson for this organization? Just someone 
else out there trying to cover up! and pr otect, in my humble, but informed, 
opinion.

    Just some thoughts from the other side of things,

    Rich
