Chinese Tires?????
-
I got 4 of the Ironman Chineesium tires for the price of 2 Michelin.
But I will not buy tires from Vietnam, for obvious reasons.
I use the lugger tread pattern year round cause who knows where
some dumb ### will need to be towed out of; I get in some wild places.
I live in a "Touristy" area, cause you're visiting a wildlife area, or marsh
to look at the deer, doesn't mean you can drive your Prius in there.
Curbed this tire at the corner gas station less than 1 mile from my house.
I drove by here for 50 plus years?
This time, a car zipped out in front of me, and stopped at the red light,
I was turning right, so there was room next to them to get by,
but I gave them too much room - as a courtesy, and got the curb by an inch.
This is a 19.5 tire, you're not doing the tire bar dance on the truck.
I used to do these in about 20 minutes, I'm 71 on the 13th, now, not so much.
Last one I barred off, and put a new one back on, took over an hour.
My advice, don't ever get old, you won't like it.IH Truck Guy, Feedman, Lav-25 and 11 others Thank this. -
FYI, I've seen thieves steal tires this way, deflate, bar it off, gone.
Lav-25, Chinatown, Deere hunter and 1 other person Thank this.
