Something's really wrong with all of us anyway.
Cross-threaded is tighter than Lock-tite

I'm gonna guess that tire might be vintage 6/98.
Guys, if your rubber gets old, replace it. You don't want an "accident" do you? An ounce of prevention...

You are not even in the ballpark with that guess. I'll give you another shot.CopperBaja wrote:Plug n Play tire size / corrected speed calculator.

12/75
Hot, humid air is less dense than cooler, drier air. This can allow a golf ball to fly through the air with greater ease, as there won't be as much resistance on the ball.

Re: Lotrat's Budget Baja Build
The winner is....
226!
So if I ignore the previous owners guess... that makes winifredevw the winner. Shoot me a PM and your prize will be mailed out tomorrow.
Now before the safety committee send me an email, I know that I am a bad person for running these tires for as long as I did. For some reason I thought they were 2006's not 1996's. These tires crumbled like a dry eraser. No bueno and my bad. Anything over 6 years old should be looked at carefully for signs of aging, dry rot, cracking, bulging, or anything out of the ordinary. Anything over 10 years old should just be dumped in Herbie's new truck.

I'll have to check and see how old mine are when I get home, but I'm pretty sure they are older than that... I believe the brand is Armstrong.

Re: Lotrat's Budget Baja Build
So I stopped by my buddy's place to visit my old HF tire machine to pop the tires off the wheels. Then he had 3 tires to pop off too.
Then his neighbor had 2 to pop off.
and then his botherinlaw had 2 to pop off.
Nine tires when all was said and done. That machine paid for itself 10x over.
The Remington Wide Brutes were pretty cool.
