Dayum, only 29,000 miles, but they are almost 5 years old. Gotta split on the port side forward tire on the inside, not the outside. Noticed the side walls are looking pretty rotted so it's time. Plenty of tread though, kinda sad.

The tires on my duallie are like that. The previous owner had commercial duty tires on it. I replaced the fronts a few years ago not because the tread was gone, but because they looked old as dirt and there was some cracking on the sidewall. The rears I still have, and they've got to be at least 12-15 years old. The Goodyears I put on the front are looking pretty bad already. I guess the commercial tires are better, or they just don't make 'em like they used to!

Just don't shoot them with .25 ACP, or you'll be dodging bullets!

Ram the truck repeatedly into the curb and see if there is damage to your expensive wheels.
