Re: Tire age question
Any more, if they're over 7 years, I won't even mess with 'em. Had one of the BFG 35's let go on the truck a couple of years ago while towing the boat. Granted it was REALLY old. Dodged a bullet on that I thought.
Just last year about this time, gave my trailer spare to a friend that needed one. Knew it was right around 7 years old and told them. Had never been used. 20 miles in, it scattered, leaving them stranded in 100+ heat for 6 hours. felt like crap over that one.
At 5 years now, I start looking real hard at them whether they have miles on them or not.
For an extra 100$, I'd feel better knowing that my lady didn't think I cheaped out on her ride.
Trying to buy US made as well these days. The whole "China bomb" is an actual issue Ive found.
The date is key.
