Best place for tire brand advice?

Load-bearing means a lot to someon

Load bearing is a MINIMUM spec. It must carry your truck’s weight. I’m not talking about excessive, just the minimum.

@RandomTroll

People have argued elsewhere that I shouldn’t keep a tire longer than a few years no matter how good the tread is

And those people, and I’m one, are correct. You completely missed the point. The cheap tire you buy today, may be a useless, unsafe, rock-hard lump of carbon in 2 or 3 years and you’d never know it.

@RandomTroll

Even the 20-year-old Firestone looks good and holds air. It’s never been a dream ride but it feels the same to me

And yet they aren’t. But obviously nothing will allow you to understand the risk you put others in by continuing to drive on unsafe tires.

But, hasn’t it occurred to anyone else that somebody with the screen name of “Random Troll” is likely trolling everyone with his claims of pristine 20 year old tires?

I agree, the screen name says it all.

Pristine tires? Is that a Chinese brand?

No, I think he’s driving around on Maypop tires.
