As far as i can remember tyre will be harden upon time.Means all the component inside the tyre will be overcrosslink. can it still give the comfortability and grip as it suppose to be. anyway Goodyear maybe has all figured out not sure whether it can still be used after that long.

but the widest thread is only 195 and the biggest rim it can fit is 15

this leaves our naza ria out, it needs 205/r16 inch

leaves the mercedes 190e out also, it also needs 205/r15 inch

of course the honda accord is out 225/r17

at least judging by the size it offers, most of the cars on the road can benefit from this tire, the rest of the minority whose tire is different must to stick to other brands

But assuming your car does not reach this magic number, how many years before you have to swap for a new set of wheels? for argument sake, lets say an average user drives appx ~ 1000km a month; that will be 8 years before reaching 100,000km.
