i was driving to school today in my geo metro and saw a stack of tires on the side of the road that said "FREE" on them. so naturally, I stopped and looked. they are 4, AMAZING tread BFG AT's!!!! almost like new. 32" for 15" rims!! slammed all 4 into my little geo metro and finished driving to school. getting them swapped this weekend, no more lugging slowness of stock gears and 33's... I know they wont help much but itll be a lot better then what I got now, eventually looking to regear. d35 rear d30 front. I know, no money into the d35 is everyones philosophy but if I can stock up on shafts and keep some on hand I aint worried I have a dana 60 I could put in the rear and dana 44 for the front but I don't have the time nor resources to put them in and regear them right now. someday though... unless someone gives me a good offer on selling them so I can go buy a welder! or maybe trade?

 

i would find the date of manufacture on them, and check thoroughly for dry rot. cool find!!

 

I will, how do I go about that?

 

There's a date code stamped on the tire...

Keep an eye out for me a set of 285/75R16

Got a picture of the tires?

 

I will post a pic, I have 33 12.5 16s if you want to buy them, 100$

 

Any pics of them crammed into the Metro?

 

Nope! I wish I had lol I even had room for a passenger! Tire stuck through between the seats

 

Sure theres no slices in them? Sometimes it's hard to notice when they aren't mounted

 

Perhaps you just found 4 free tire swings.

 

not sure, I will have a tire shop inspect them before I go and get them mounted, if they have damage, ill get them patched! they really are nice tires ill get pics up later today

 

Maybe they're covered in Anthrax. Have you sniffed them?

 

they taste okay imo

 

nice find
I was dropping of garbage at my local dump last wed and found free 35s
there were three 35x12.5 rim 15 and one 35x12.5 rim 16.5 goodyear mt's
I guess the guy cheaped out on rims and only bought 4 and then got a full size spare for his factory spare rim lol

 

Alot of tire stores, in this area at least wanna charge you a "Disposal Fee" for the tires they take off when you buy new even if they are still in useable shape (even though they turn around and resell them to the used tire shops) Probably someone smart enough to tell the tire guys to pound sand and saved themselves a few bucks and give them away, thats what I do.

 

Yeah same here if I can get a few bucks for tires I will but if someone I know needs them more then I do when I'm done I give them away, it's nice having a selection of tires available though lol
