These tires suck,
i got 8 or them for 2 machines instead used 6 of them on 1 machine in 4 days time, They have cheap side walls that rip and also the rubber is super soft. I have never seen a tire wear out so fast in my line of work we have been in business for 43 years never seen a tire go bald in 1 week of use
