The rims have some value but I agree....I don't think it's even legal to sell used tires anymore. I couldn't buy a used spare for my truck at a local place...they weren't allowed to sell them or even repair them anymore
while living in Bend....
There's thousands of used tires for sale on Craig's list.
Can't do that in Lane county Oregon...even the big tire shops no longer fix flats or sell used tires...I learned when my spare went flat for my old truck that the used spare isn't available anymore nor would anyone fix my flat...I used to pick up a used spare tire for 5 bucks at the local tire shop....they can't sell them anymore
Yeah....Les Schwab Walmart, American Tire and Big Apple Tire all told me the same thing...if they're selling used tires, they're probably a pawn shop...I was told it's illegal to sell them or repair them...I sure didn't make that policy...to me a spare is rarely driven on and only needs to get me to a tire shop....had a flat last winter on my truck and went through this whole thing...if I patched it myself it would probably go unnoticed but I don't have those tools
Tires these days are impregnated with chemicals to extend their life. They just proved that such chemicals were harmful to Coho, aka Silver, salmon.
They told him to use a rubber
Try it, knowing you, you'll like it, I do.
you sir are obviously someone that has never overwintered on kodiak island, lol. joking, but they truly do have a place where icing is as common as snow fall. kodiak is one such local. many days chains are mandatory.
I get the application in a place like Kodiak. But Oregon?? Ice and snow on the road is so rare and people keep their snow tires on for roughly 6 months. That is a lot of totally unnecessary wear and tear on the roads. I used to have chains but got rid of them when a bought a car with AWD. Most AWD cars these days work great on the amount of snow we get (when we get it).
Hey, my brother-in-law once lived on Kodiak island.
Hey, when you gotta be there in snow or ice then you gotta do what you gotta do. Take me for example. I've gotta be at my dialysis appointments. The VA transportation system does not work in ice or snow so my wife drives me but she has zero experience in that kind of weather. We now have the best winter tires you can buy made by Michelin with no studs. We also have AWD so we're gonna give it a try and see how she does. Personally, I'm nervous.
Personally, rain, snow, ice, sunshine, daylight, snow tires, AWD, whatever, I’m always nervous when my wife is behind the wheel......
