dry rought good or bad??

[hemiman]

I bought some used tires that have dry cracks in between the tread pattern but not the sidewalls should i use them and not worry?

[MrJohnWayne]

hmmm.. depending on the size of the cracks I would not use them, especially on the highway...

[hemiman]

there like stress cracks all 4 tires have them the two back tires i have show the same thing and im not sure if there still good to roll on. I pull a 5000 lbs (4 horses and a trailer) sometimes and by the way its nice to hear from ya again buddy!!

[MrJohnWayne]

Thanks bud

if they are small cracks you might be ok, but I would not travel excessive speeds on them.

I hope the 305s will work out i got um for 100.00 times are tuff!!

[MrJohnWayne]

well they don't look too bad. I think you can get away with running them. What is the weight rating on those tires though? and the horses you pull is it a bumper pull trailer or gooseneck?

I would still be wary about running them over highway speeds...

[wriott]

If it were my truck i wouldnt use them. There is nothing worse than haveing a blow out or tread seperation. Not to put them down but just remember you get what you pay for. if it was a truck to use around the farm then heck yeah i would use them, but for any highway driving i would look someplace else.
