One tire has no crazing<br>> at all and two have a light amount; basically there are four levels. So I<br>> bought four tubes and will at least tube the badly damaged one; figure then<br>> when I go back to Oma's I have more options for tires. Mike is right, no use<br>> tossing tyres with good tread! If the rubber fails I will feel and hear it<br>> before it becomes a safety hazard.<br>> <br>> I am blessed, as found out a Church member has a tire machine and bubble<br>> balance! Further, might have a couple wheels with tyres because the prior<br>> owners were into sand dune running and left all their junk behind. I know<br>> the spacing will be wrong, but a tyre is a tire! ;p<br>> <br>> <br>> Thank you so very much!<br>> Adriel<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> -------------------------<br>> <br>> 1971 Sunroof Squareback with F.I. - In the Process of Being Dog Wgn 2<br>> 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300TD-T - Dog Wgn<br>> Master's Student, A.S.U., living in north central Mesa, AZ<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> VWType3.Org mailing list - type3@vwtype3.org<br>> http://lists.vwtype3.org/listinfo.cgi/type3-vwtype3.org<br>> Contact gregm@vwtype3.org if you need help with the list.<br>> <br>> _______________________________________________<br>> VWType3.Org mailing list - type3@vwtype3.org<br>> http://lists.vwtype3.org/listinfo.cgi/type3-vwtype3.org<br>> Contact gregm@vwtype3.org if you need help with the list.<br></div></div> </div></body>
