    Just in what way are today`s made in China tires better?

    Perhaps advances in blending rubber compounds ?

    Buying tires is always some what of a compromise for most people long wearing or traction I buy for traction if they last 20,000 miles I am happy.

    Considering the Chinese have been knocking off our "premium" tires is one. Also better advances in rubber over the years.

    I did a thing today:
    Hitch for the back of the ZT. In typical Rusty fashion it was done with whatever was close at hand and with as little effort as possible.
    KIMG2195.jpg

    Last fall I scored this nice garden trailer at a yard sale for $40! :yes:
    It was difficult to pull by hand, I was surprised to find that it doesn't have wheel bearings, just bushings -- on a 1" axle too.
    Polished up the shaft and a good lube job -- moves nice now.

    KIMG2196.jpg

    The ZT isn't really meant to pull things, it will work fine for hauling clippings on the in town lawns.
