Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Replacing Tires due to Age?

It was a learning experience for some of us, group hug.........grin



My next door neighbor who owns the tire shop said there was a very slight chance the cracks in our tires would have caused an issue. He said they were 'surface cracks' and rarely go in deep enough to cause an issue.


Given that advice I decided wife could drive on them for a couple more years.......




























Just kidding!

I did it too. Today I replaced my 12 year old tires on a Honda Pilot. Only had 32000 miles on them. Wife hardly drives anymore. I bought her a new car so I’m driving this Pilot to work everyday. I knew it was time but this thread pushed me over the edge.

Learning of the date stamp was really good for me.
I've never given a tire enough time to get old on my vehicles, kinda fanatical about keeping them fresh.
Somebody always want my old tires.

It's my trailers that sneak up on me and get old. Years seem to pass fast anymore.
I take my boats all over the place, that's the big one here but my dump-bed and cargo trailer get old too.

Just not a lot of excuse for having to change a tire out on the road unless it's impact damage or something.

Thanks again.....

what.......no cow schidt on 'em yet ?
