After my spark plug issue, I started think a little more about my car. As I've said before, it's a very low optioned 2002, with around 7,300 miles, that I bought new in October of 2001. The car has been garaged all it's life, but still, it's almost 10 years old. I'm taking care of the fluids, but what about the tires? Should I consider replacing them? The tires are Z rated Goodyears, they look good and don't seem to have any cracks or leaks. I realize I'm not doing the car any favors by letting it sit, and I plan to drive it a good bit more in the future. Thanks for any thoughts you guys may have.
