They're already putting embedded chips in stock tires to (determine) when a tire was produced and how long it's been around.

He who does not tire, tires adversity.

Mario was the fastest guy on Firestone (tires), ... The Firestone/Goodyear (tire) war was really heated then. I never had anything I could call a comfortable lead. My car, as it got low on fuel, became more and more difficult to hook up. I had to finesse it (into corners) and go like hell (on the straights).

It wouldn't have been missed (in pre-flight). They check tires before in a walk-around. A tire can hit something in the runway to cause it to go flat, (but) it is not common.

We will inspect the tire for damage or excessive wear and ensure the tires are inflated to the level specified by the vehicle's manufacturer. If there is a problem, we will remedy the situation to the customer's satisfaction.

This is like putting all your chips on number 27 and spinning a roulette wheel. There is so much potentially bad that could happen, and it's not necessary to do it.
