    I'd have to agree! I bought a new '99 Cherokee classic, it was right around $20k. I should have kept that one too. D'oh!

    Sir, those would be tires. Tyres only go on Land Rovers and other such Commonwealth vehicles, under the bonnet and the boot.

    Yes. The age is a tad higher than I would like. I think I'll still mount them though. I read a bunch of different things and 60 percent of the articles said max of 6 years old and 40 percent of the articles said 10 years old as long as they pass a visual inspection. They will be 5 years old, roughly, in May. They appear fine with no cracks or anything so I think I'll send it.

    5 years old,? I wouldn't be thrilled about that, unless they were super cheap.

    They were shipped and sold from Walmart so I'm assuming a warehouse. They appear fine. I'll just have to drive extra aggressive so that I wear them out before they get too old lol

    I would run em, they have been stored in a warehouse for the last 5yrs so there should be no problems.

    They were roughly $100 cheaper per tire than they usually go for.

    Run them. Gives you an excuse for more trips. Gotta use my tires before they are too old.

    Well the meth houses were around before I moved here. They've been gone for a long while now. I haven't had any issues. The big thing going around now is that these 2 huskies keep getting out and roaming around town. Owners are lazy pieces of shit

    Also to add in

    My 80+ year old neighbor is weird as fuck. Dude was driving down the street one day with the hood open on his car and a county cop just slowed down and chirped his siren and nodded his head and drove off when he pulled in his driveway. Also he drives slow as hell everywhere, he was fucking going 35 in a 55 one morning when I was heading to work :annoyed:

    You seem to drive a lot, so you'll probably get your money's worth before they dry rot. Worst case, it'll be an excuse to buy tires again in a few years. :D
