Default Re: tire recommendations

nowadyas tires are an iffy proposition. if you drive a lot, good tires are worth it. if you dont drive much, buy the cheapest tires you can find. they crack around the edges and are unsafe to use. in the old bias days, tires would last 15 to 20 years. nowadays, they crack in less than 5 years. and the tire shop will not patch a tire more than 5 years old [some shops now are passing on 3 year old tires]. I just bought 2 hankook optimas for my 67 C-10 panel. I took off Remington LTs which still had 11/32 depth, but cracked. the hankooks have about 9/32 brand new. but they were about $50. less each. and they will crack just a fast.
