Here's my tire when I changed it with 8,500 miles and 3/32 inch depth at the red line.
Here's Deb's when changed at 7,700 miles and 2.5/32 inch depth at the red line.
Lee - seriously. How much would it cost to ship one tire to me? Two tires? I would pay for those if you're not using them. Those look like new tires.
They're gone.
Those are from 2019 when I ordered tires and had the vendor ship them to Texas where the place we stayed had a tire changer.
Debbie's went to recycle and I gave mine to a friend when I found out he needed a tire to get back to Kansas. He did not want to buy a new tire in Texas as he had a new set waiting at home.
If anyone thinks about changing tires on a trip, several times we have ordered tires and had them shipped free to a location where I knew I could get them mounted.
A couple times I had the tires shipped to a private owned motel that had a shop close by.
I would call the motel owner and ask if they were ok with me sending tires and I would call the shop and ask if they would mount tires I had not purchased from them.
