Just got 2 new bfg all terrains for $60

[kevinbmx77]

Got 3 33×12.5×15 for $60 (one is used)
They have never been used but they have sat at the guys house for a bit. There is light dry rot starting between the tread but not on the sidewall. Anybody know a way to fill the little bit thats there?

Would be interested in knowing the manufacture date of the tires? From the looks of the rubber they are some old tires.

The dry cracking doesn't look that bad on the tread portion but the dried rubber on the edges of the tread blocks suggests they will chunk pretty quick if used off road. Be careful with old tires. Pay attention to them. Check them often for shifted belts, tread separation, and new dry cracks.

I run all sorts of used tires and most are full tread spares that look new but are 10 plus years and older. Some dont make it a day once driven on and start splitting and chunking. Some last without an issue. Ive got a set of Firestone Wilderness tires right now on the rear of my Ranger. One produced in 1997 and the other in 1998. I check them daily even though they look and ride good.

The last two dot numbers are 11 so 2011, i got them on now and they seem to be ok so far, even after i forgot to check if i could turn and tore into the front bumper around a corner in my neighborhood lol
