Settled mean they agreed to something Steve, not that they were not completely absolved of two guys driving like jerks through an area with posted lower limit..... Old tires do go to shit. Rubber compounds do break down over time.

Wait wait wait... Paul Walkers fucking dead?!?

I have this setup and really like it for what it is. My truck didn't get much lift from 4/3 setting because I think I'm too heavy.

On that note, anyone have 650lb 14" springs they need to part with?

 

I can sell you some if needed. I should have a set here tomorrow.

 

FS:

• 2014 tacoma silver sky metallic bumper w/ fog lights and most/maybe all of the hardware, good condition - $100
• 2014 grill insert, no surround - $50
• Four 17" wheels w/ tpms sensors off a 4runner a little dirty but no rock rash or scratches, tires not included - $200
• 2008 tacoma stock upper control arms 130k miles - Free

Pic of the wheels, everything else should be pretty clear.

 

Sounds good. Lmk

 

Bump
I’ll be in Colorado Springs next week, someone please make me an offer, I need these gone.

 

The Summer after I turned 16 I had the pleasure of a job that required me to make 400 Bias tires a shift. Later, when I had to go back to school I went to work for QC Testing & Prototyping Departments. So, that's why I know a bit about tires and assume most also have some common sense regarding them.

I already addresses the fact tires will last a long time with proper storage (Out of Sun & big temp fluctuations to spell it out) in my original post.

I believe it is easily identifiable to see damaged tires that were not stored correctly. Dry rot, Occurs after the protective film (UV & Sealer) on tires wares away. Most cleaners people use to make their tires all shiny also wear away this outer film. Tire cracks are a dead give away.

The bigger thing that tires do that age and no longer "in use" is harden up, so the break down is actually a loss of flexibility and anyone who has tried to drive a car that hasn't moved in 2-3 years has first had experience of "flats" that tires can develop.

Walker was already litigated and crash blame placed fully on Driver, I care less what your article says about anything because 60 secs on Google will get you the Police Accident Investigation Report and no way he knows more than them.

Last lets talk about common sense, I have seen many requests for Date stamp for Cooper tire models that haven't even existed for 5 years yet. More common sense just how many CO TW people you think just have multiple sets of tires sitting around.

Oh and for the poor suckers who read this whole thing, there is very little Rubber in tires. Tires have been Chemically engineered for a very long time and made from Buytl, polybutadiene &/ or styrene-butadiene "compound rubber".

 

With all this talk about old ones, how about some basically new ones! Ha ha...

Bump. $300 takes 'em. 5 tires... yes 5.

 

Nothing to add, just wanted to say that I read the whole thing

 

Bump... still got these too for anyone doing leaves in the factory orientation.

 

Me too. Now my brain is tired and I want to go home.

 

I have pretty much brand new 9 y/o Toyo mudders on the Tundra. If I die I'll let you all know

 

Engineers say put 10 miles a month on tires in summer, 30 miles in winter (it's about heating tires up basically), keep it garaged and they will last a long time. Catastrophic failures are extremely rare so remember to buy a Lotto ticket before you die if it happens.

Than again, I don't know anything per some.

 

I can tell you from personal experience, my almost 5 year old Toyo MTs are trying to kill me every time it rains or snows. They have dry cracking and chunking from rubber hardening. Every time I drive past a tree on a straight section of road I fear for my life.

RIP PW

 

We'll look forward to hearing from you.

 

Whatta steal! If I know of anyone that could use these I'll send em your way. At 300 bucks that's almost vehicle impulse buy levels. If they were 16's I'd probably take em just for shits and gigs

 

Old Bump. Honestly forgot I had this posted here too
