I put new radial tires on my 59 GMC in 1989, probably put less than 10,000
miles on them and in the summer of 2003 I removed them to have the wheels
sandblasted and powdercoated and could not believe how poor the structure of
the tires were. They had cracks between the treads that were very deep, in fact
I was amazed that these tires held air.
For Sale, 4 P225/75R15 radial tires with less than 10,000 miles. Very little
tread wear, never been spun (235 I6). Asking $1000 will ship :)
