shocking
yeah, that look of horror on YOUR face is the same as the one on MY face!

bridgestone bt010R...now i know they stoped making these in 2004/2005 i think so they really could be that old.

ive looked on the sidewall and the only thing that looks like a date stamp has this: DBA0203...which if its a date stamp means 2nd week of 2003, so 9 years old and counting...its going in the bin as soon as my birthday comes around methinks...
