Believe it or not, the pictures...make the tires look bad. Or worse, than they are. The 1st thing i did, when then they got here...was look them over as closely as i could. If i truly felt the tires were in poor shape, or worse than the current ones...i would not put them on. There are no cracks, no dry not, no holes. I'll definitely be monitoring the tires once they are on. I appreciate the warnings, and concern.
