Re: What did you do to your truck today??

No sun shining on that spare but plenty on the trailer tires. Especially the side-mount spare. I was looking at a couple of old hay wagons yesterday pondering those tires. Farm equipment was always a good place to use old worn out tires that still held air. You never put new tires on that stuff. I guess those days are gone and now a hay wagon needs new tires every 6 years. The tires that were on my '71 wrecker I sold a while back I had originally bought for another C/30 in '88 and they were solid. They figured out how to make rubber that rots in 6 years. Bad for us, good for the industry. But isn't that the way?
