Re: How old are your tires (The answer might surprise you)

if the sidewalls start to dryrot( like mine on the xD) then it's prolly time to replace them. Btu I can run tires way longer than most peeps

No matter how much tread you have left, if there is LOTS of dry-rot, time to change them!

It's been deleted. There are only three mods on here and we can't watch every thread every minute of the day. Rather than complaining maybe you could send a pm to the mods like Carlos did and let us know it's there.

Me too. That's why the "!" thingy is there, right? Does it get sent to Admins or Mods?
Sorry the thread went sideways BTW.

Re: How old are your tires (The answer might surprise you)

This is some good information to have. It makes it easy to shop for tires and get ones that are not going to expire anytime soon. Always good to be armed with useful information when making purchases.

New ones came on my box 3 months ago and after doing some research on them they were only 2 months older.
