New Tires

[Tom Kuznicki]

Hey everyone, I just got some new tires for the Beast, they are Pirelli Scorpion STR's, 255-55-18 in the rear and 255-50-18 for the front. They are not soft compound racer tires like stock but these feel smoother on the road than the goodriches that came off. By the way, about those BFG's. I was going to save the front tires to use as spares, they were only worn on the insides as we all know, but, when the guy at Belle tire called me into the garage area and asked me if I was sure I wanted the tires I asked him why, he then showed me both front tires , still aired up and on the rims, completely dry rotted and split at least 1/2 way around the tire on the inside.So guys, if you still have the originals on your car please check the insides of the tires for safety's sake. The outsides of mine still looked new so I would have never known what could have caused an accident.

Yea I just picked up some fronts cause my dealer said they could get some rears in 2 days well now I'm stuck cause they lied. Got my fronts sitting in my house but aint finding no rears wanted to put on the new tires before a trip I have planned for beginning of May so may not see new rears for a while. THX FORD

Thanks for the heads up. Mine look fine at 49K, aside from being bald on the insides. I'm due for new shoes all around. :beer:

I found tire dealers with rears but they want well over $400 installed! :argue:
