No defects and no cracking is a good thing when buying a new tire

Where are you going to take them to get wrapped around your new Cobra wheels?

Well, I just hope that if they are old it won't affect the tire. Idk when they will even get here. When they do i have to bring them to beatrice to get them mounted on the rims and then bring them back up to put on the car. Also I have some 17" silver bullitt rims on my car now with newer tires about 15k miles on them that I will want to sell. they are nice on some stangs, but on a black/black GT they are ugly as hell.

I was hoping to put them on craigslist and the forums and get $300 for tires and rims. I would hope they will bring that at least.

well if they are over 10 years old most places will not mount them due to safety issues.

Well I have a friend with the machine to mount the tires at his farm. If they look good no cracking should they be good to drive around on?

Might wanna take the tires to an actual tire shop that work on nice wheels. Dont wanna bugger up your new cobra wheels with some barnyard special machine.

Eh it's all good, I just figured if I could get a tire that was pretty good and would last a while for $45/tire after shipping I couldn't pass it up. I have a friend out of town that works at a little station that does tires, I'm sure he would put them on and balance them for a good price
