tires are cracking
Our Pepsi AA has tires that have been on since 1980 ... They have some sidewall cracking in the rubber .. the truck only does parades and car shows .. should I be concerned ?

Re: tires are cracking
No problem for parades etc. If they're small surface cracks no big deal. I assume you can't see any cords at the bottom of the cracks cause that could be a different story. Just dry and ozone/sun exposure, that's why you see covers on a lot of RV's that sit a long time. That my take.

Reminded of my early teen years....Dumb & Fun. By the way, I later replaced the tires & tubes and found that the original tubes are still in good shape.....still got 'em. |
