What Tractor?
Tires
- Thread starter kickstart
- Start date
Don’t remember the name of it but it sucked as most Chinese stuff does
Did anyone else notice the KKK on the side of the tire?

Knows some things
For those that don't know how to read the date on the side of a tire. It's a 4 digit number. The first two numbers is the week. So the 42 on Harry's tire is the 42nd week of the year, and the year being the last 2 numbers.

One of the old ones.
Due to local new home construction in my neighborhood, I had 2 flat rear tires in one week on my K9. The second one had an extremely slow leak and my wife had a fit and demanded i buy a new one. OK! I sez. Got on line and was shocked to see the 300’s selling for north of $500. Wanted to buy Avon or Metzler, but the Shinko was delivered in 2 days by Chap-Moto. When Avons weren’t available, I’ve used Shinko and found them to be as good as the competition and in this case, about half the price. Date stamp sez 1824, and I plan to wear it out ASAP.

I can't help but wonder how old the tires were that I bought for HD's back in the 60's. I do believe that the date is a good thing but also believe it depends on storage, climate, usage, tire pressure etc.
Thanks All for your input.
Ever wonder how old some of the food we ate was before they started the best by date requirement?

Nowdays nothin goes bad with all the preservatives..I can't help but wonder how old the tires were that I bought for HD's back in the 60's.

You are right Harry. I remember one time I was driving my camper and was eating donuts. I dropped one and it rolled under the seat. I forgot about it. A couple years later I found it. No mold or bugs. Makes you wonder why they won't eat it. Scary!I've eaten (and enjoyed) some home canned chicken that was 15+yrs old. Mom knew what she was doin.
