Drivin the Baja this week, brakes are a C- so I’ll eventually do more brake work!! 🙂

So, I got those Appliance rims and tires from a farm, sitting in a shed for at least 30 years, tires are kinda new looking  and have been out of the Sun. Heavy As Fuck!!!!!!!!!  Are they useful??? What for? And should I keep em???????

Look at hat Nasty tread!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂

When I was working in a small VW shop down in Georgia many…many years ago, tires like that were very popular with the swamp buggy guys.  If the rubber is good, use them !

They’re on the back, won’t be too bad if they blow apart 🙂

I still have one around here that says “Durango Recap” on the side, hard to believe they made retreads in this little mountain town.

Ran retreads on my 65 mustang in high school, under $100 for a set of 4, mounted and balanced! only had 1 come apart and it was just a piece, it didn’t completely fail…

Yeah those tires are cool. White walls even. I’d run them

 

…maybe not full-bore 80mph  down the highway though.
