interesting, and very informative for those who do not ask questions and trust the retailer, but very one sided.
no statistics were given regarding accidents as a result of these tires.
and quite a bit of reference is given to delaminated highway truck tires, which are at a very high percentage caused by under inflation and over heating from actual research statistics.
also the secret of the date code is pointed out and explained by most tire retailers if you ask them, and they seem to be very forthcoming if you question them, just from my experience. i have been told many many times when fitting on another used set of tires to my truck that the tires are old and they do not reccomend it as they are past their shelf life.
