    Yeah, they're just rods with little joints on the ends, you can rejoin them if it popped off or you can get a new rod if the joint broke.

    What size are those tires, they look very thin. Always nice to have fresh tires though!

    Those AT3 tires are somehow magically able to last forever. I had a used pair from CL for a while and the tread just wouldn't die, even a couple burnouts didn't phase them. Ended up drilling holes in them, hanging them up on the fence to use them as planters in my yard haha. Good size tire though, I had one of those as my spare for a while because the diameter is the same as 265/75/16.

    You'll likely have to change the tires because the tread hardens from rubber losing its oils than because of the tread wearing away. Should get a long life out of them, thin tire is nice too because rolling resistance is minimal.

    I agree the AT3 tires last forever, but damn do they get noisy as they age. I don't care for tire noise, but if you are used to hum of aggressive tires, then they won't bother you a bit.

    Did a little more work on my Satoshi grill. Ripped the rest of the guts out, sanded and applied fiberglass to the holes. Waiting for that to dry before bondo.
