I don't overload and I watch the tire inflation. The rest of your
*reasoning* doesn't make sense.
I do not intentionally do something to the tires that can cause a problem.




To me, tires are the most important part of a car. Anyone who has
experienced a blow out at highway speeds understands why. Tires are now
date coded and it is recommended that they be replaced no more than 6 years
from the date of manufacture, regardless of how much tread wear is left.

Tooling down the road at highway speeds knowing that you have a fault or
damage (plugged or not) to a side wall is like taking off for a cruise 30
miles offshore in your boat knowing that you have a serious leak somewhere
in the hull or have an engine that has been acting up. Just doesn't make
sense to me.
