    How about those baldazz drive tires? I think I saw steel poking through one of them.
    Sucks about the trailer collapsing though.

    It's the Ukraine, the steel belts are an acceptable substitute for tire chains :)

    :biggrin_2559: Yeah, I'm betting that he's done that and then some.
    They look as bed as the ones I had to argue with my last boss to replace.
    He just could not understand that legal and safe don't always equal the same thing. Especially here in northern WI, coming into winter.

    There is no way I would run anything that bald on anything but a rolling chassis.
