How much left on these slicks?

tire · 12-14-2003, 11:21 PM

A guy is offering them for free and he says 70% but I wanted to know what y'all thought before I drive a long ways to East Texas.

Thanks!

I went 2000+ miles after mine were already showing the white threads.....

they now have whit ethreads all the way around. It eventually got where I could only pull 1.9s on them when they got that bald, but with the tread you have... I was able to manage 1.7s 1.8s easy and I drove to track-SA-back to SM and drove all over town daily on them at 14 PSI:jeff:

cliff notes, dont be a pussy :rotf:

your good to go:jeff:

there are holes in the "tread" to determine how much life is left. you would need a closer picture to know for sure

btw: what size are they? and why are they on such skinny wheels?

yeah, i know what you mean, but i didn't know how else to guage wear. the pictures are bigger on my computer than they showed up here on the site. thanks.

26x8.5x15... more than enough for my car once the supercharger goes on. the wheels i think were 15x6.5 or 7" explorer wheels, but i put them on my stock 15x7 wheels. they fit fine.

i got them today and are in good shape.

feel free to lock this thread mods.
