>Today's cars are so much more complex than old cars. Yet almost all of them are much more reliable than old cars.

That's debatable. Evey person who owns a vintage car, pre electronics area will tell you that. I'm sure there are improvement in new cars which made them more reliable but not because of increased complexity. Maintainability of modern cars is a mess.




Vintage cars are the survivors. Many cars where junked because they where not worth maintaining.

Most modern cars can hit 100k miles with only regular and cheap maintenance. That's a huge step up.


And maintainability is exactly the argument here. I do not know everything about these new tires, but like many people advocating here, I would rather just let the air out of my tires to get through the mud and re-inflate them then deal with the complexity that seems to be shown here.
