Sounds like my soon-to-be father-in-law. The tires on his vehicles all age out before wearing out.

Yea id be more worried about mileage with it being a mud terrain tire but I don't drive more then 6-7k a year max. So I decided to take the plunge and make it look the way I wanted. Only issue is wheel poke in PA is a PITA...

I would guess a limit on how far the tires can stick out of the wheel well. Fair few states have restrictions on that.

Yea technically I cant have any poke and could get fined but most cops don't care unless its a crazy amount. The problem comes during inspection. I'm gonna have to either keep my old awful tires or throw on some cheap fender flare extenders. It's very annoying

Could throw on a set of stock wheels/tires to get through inspection?

I was thinking about doing that but I might just throw on some EZ flares on it. As long as it doesn't stick out more then 2 inches I'm fine. I'm selling the tires I had on it today for $400 so I kinda want that money

I have them now for about 2ish years love them. Where in PA you by?
