    Wanted to see what people thought on these, I pulled them off a truck to put new ones on and wanted to sell them.

    Is this dry rot in the treads or just wear and tear? Sidewalls look fine. FB324897-0E3B-40AC-A69A-AA0620CD6678.jpg

    Thanks, that’s what I thought. Seems like there’s enough life left to make it worth it to sell them.

    It's helpful to check the manufacture date. Looks like normal wear to me (from driving on more than just smooth pavement. But regardless of the wear it's nice to have an idea of how old the tires are as they typically harden up quite a bit when they get old.

    If they’re older than 5 years they’re worth FREE only. Check the dot #.

    That is some cut and chip. How much gravel/off roading do you do? Certain tires are much better that Wildpeaks for these conditions and some are even worse. The best out there is the Cooper ST Maxx.

    Yeesh. Thats some gnarly wear.

    I bet somebody would buy those. I sure wouldn't. But somebody else might. Tugboat captains looking for a new bumper, maybe.

    Looks like you were running with a bit too much air pressure. Center section is pitted and chunked, while the outer edges look reasonable.
