Tire story

Dang! :eek: I'd call the cops to shoot a hole in that thing. I'd be afraid it would blow up and bust my brains out while I was trying to get the lug nuts off!!!
 
Yeah, it looks disgusting! That car needs a shot of Trobicin!
 
Mine was an ancient Michelin (I'm a Michelin fan).
I recently took the Michelins off my Bronco, they are 15+ years old, plenty of tread remaining, but are now showing lots of cracking in the tread face and edges of the sidewall. Sucks that the tread is still easily 70%, but the truck sat for several years before I bought it.
 
Heck I have some biased 14 inchers with new tread that are at least 50 years old!!!!!! I traded a guy for a 64 Belvedere while back, he works for a small town Chevy dealership. He found some new biased tires up in the loft of the store and put them on for rollers!!! They will be my spares for various cars.
The demo derby guys want the old biased tires are they were tough!
