Tires Have Dry-Rot

I guess I need to get out more. My tires are three years old with around 15K miles on them - but from sitting in the driveway and not moving much for weeks on end - particularly in the winter - they got dry-rot and need to be replaced.

Similar story.

My truck was riding real hard and i went thru the whole shock/ball joint/pitman arm checks showing all ok.

At the suggestion of Karl, replaced the 5 year old, though plenty of tread tires.

Problem solved.

Thanks Karl.
