New tire Pics

[PartsManBarr]

OK, so they aren't new, and I am taking them off the wheels tomarow, but they looked cool when i was test fitting the wheels.
So I took some pics.

They are old 31x13.5-15 bias goodyears that I got "free" with my 84' blazer wheels.

I almost didn't buy the wheels because those tires made them look so narrow.

Those are some cool tires. Very old school.

You arent going to be using those are you ? A few more miles and they will pass as drag slicks. Your just test fitting the rims ?

[PartsManBarr]

No, I am not using them.
Note the jack and stand holding my truck up.

They have cracks in the sidewalls I could stick my hand through to the wheel. Hard as rock too. I hope they aren't to tough to get off.

4.3L + 13.5" wide = NO burnouts.
Unless maybe you count a burnt up clutch.

well since im guessing they don't hold air just lower them down enough off the jack to put a little weight on the tires, block up the fronts and light em up.

Park the front tires against a big curb and you can do it.

Sounds like a good time to use the redneck's last words.

"hear hold my beer, watch this"

[theheathen]

my 4.3 with 35's and 5spd would smoke em. but then again the engine is setting on the garage floor right now.

Sorry guys. I tore them of the wheels last night.
It took an hour on an old tire machine we have at work.

I did a summer in a tire shop but that was 10 years ago.
We did as many farm tires as anything.
I have lots of respect but no envy toward tire men.

I agree, rookie! After doing tires 10 hours a day, 6 days a week, I was DONE. I think it was the tall 24's, Skidsteers, and 19.5's that eventually made me throw in the towel.

...or maybe it was 20k more a year, not getting dirty, paid breaks, lunches, vacation, room for advancement, and an air conditioned office.

yeah i worked at DTC for two straight years, still do on weekends, (tank of gas), but i will never give a tire company hell in the future i will tell you that, i have gained respect after someone chewin you azz out over something you have been sweating over and cutting yourself all day in 100 degree weather.
