amp27 Posted September 26, 2010 Author Share Posted September 26, 2010 my other tires didn't make it.. the metal was showing. plus its not that the tire will where fast without snow...its the temp of the air. onces the temps are around 50 or below all the time you can put them on..... so its like about 60 most the time... here in mn  having all this grip makes me see that i need a rear sway bar.

Malt Beverage Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Â Where do you live? I want to keep an eye out for your obituary when those 11 year old tires go epic fail! Â You must be kidding!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amp27 Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 they are not cracked at all and are very soft.. maybe the tire place read them wrong. do tire have dates on them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malt Beverage Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 99 is old for tires my friend. Tires can last that long, but don't often. Last 3 of the dot will tell you the age (if pre 2000) or last 4 (if post 2000). Better than steel belt undoubtedly, just make sure you keep a close on on them for any irregularities. I find it hard to believe a tire dealer would sell tires from 99. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98LGTLover Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Especially for $200. That is pretty high for only having 1/4 of the tread left.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
