If you ever see an older exotic car at a show, like a Murcielago or early 2000’s Ferrari, take a look at the manufacture date on the tires. A funny thing with these cars is that its fairly rare for people to put many miles on them, and therefore, their tires never ‘wear out’. Furthermore, lets face it, virtually all of the people that own these cars are not ‘car people’ and don’t care enough to replace tires anyway. So, it ends up being that many of these cars have the factory tires which are possibly now over 10 years old and are as hard as hockey pucks. Maybe that’s why there’s so many lame accidents with exotics…
