Bobber And Chopper Tires

If you are dead set on buying used tires, there are some questions you should ask the seller, and some questions you should ask yourself. The first question could be considered almost a no-brainer, but it is one a surprising number of people fail to ask when purchasing florida vacation, used cars, etc. Ask why they are selling the tires rather than using them. If there isn’t a good answer for this, get out fast! Also ask where they got the tires. A cagey or vague response could mean that they were purchased used to begin with, or that it was so long ago the seller doesn’t remember.
We looked at the cost of tires many times and that just the though of the cost put us off from doing anything about it, until Galia spotted some very cheap tires in a supermarket 70 lev each.
The amount of tires that reach the end of their life every year is truly staggering. Exact numbers aren’t currently available, but if you piled up every tire discarded in North America rest assured that you would have a really, really big pile of tires. Some estimates says that every year one tire gets to the end of the road for every man, woman, and child on the continent.
Check for the general condition of the tires. Do not buy tires whose belts are visible through the rubber or if there are any cracks or protuberances on the tire. As far as possible, buy all tires in the set having the same treading pattern, as this will give you a smoother ride.
The “P” in this example stands for passenger. This tire would go on a passenger car. You may also see “LT” for a light truck, “T” for temporary tire, or “E” for a heavy duty truck. Simple enough when you know what kind of vehicle you drive.
