No. I want my Transformers to retain quality in 10 years time. Apart from GPS, deteriorated rubber (cracked, split, sticky, flatspot, bare rims) is an eyesore right up there with flaking chrome and severe yellowing.
I also adds another cost to production and I look to my MP cars and think what would I take off each of them (bonus items do not count) so rubber tyres fit into this pricepoint? Nothing really comes to mind.
