How long is to long on nitto drag radials
reason im asking is im about to make a 3,000 mile road trip in a few days, and i just took pics of my back tires, and they are pretty bald, and you can see a weird marking in the center of the tire. what is that ? am i in danger ? =)

 

Those tires are dead. Get new ones before your trip or have a couple of spares ready!!!! I never even took mine down that far before getting new ones. You must not drive in the rain often or you would have already replaced them!!!! Good Luck and thats the start of the steel belts showing.

 

I wouldn't drive my family 30 miles on those tires; they're trash. You'll spin them up one day and when they peel apart, your body damage will cost more than half a dozen new tires.

 

I hope you are not seriously thinking about taking a 3000 mile trip on those tires.

 

Go for it man just make sure your spare is aired up and you might need to borrow another one to take but heck run em till they blow thats what i did with my F1's but i finished my F1's with style the day my nittos came in

 

NO WAY

 

on a side note, what kind of traction bars are those?

 

Looks just like mine. I have Truck Traks From PSP.

Those tires look exactly like my nittos after 2500 miles and 160 passes down the track. I might be making a trip to commerce on the 18th, I'll be sure to have my spare with me.

 

Why do the truck tracs go for 270 bucks, and the ones that look like their damn twins on rpmoutlet.com only go for 90 bucks and change????

 

You should be at the tire store instead of online.
I did'nt get mine to the wearbars and went for a ride into the retaining wall on the expressway, when I ran into a heavy downpour. They don't like standing water at 60mph.even with 5 times the tread you've got, and with them through the main compound just before the cords pop through your asking for trouble

 

well just keep a spare handy, I dont think i would take a road trip on those. But to each his own.

 

You would be aight if it didnt rain but the chances of that happening are slim to none. I for sure wouldnt raise anymore hell in them.

 

The marks you see on the middle of the tire is from doing burnouts. When you do a burn out the tire expands and the center of the tire wears out faster. Look at how your tires dont sit flat on your garage floor. The centers are pretty worn compared to the out parts of the tire.

 

Come'on
your telling a guy it would be OK to take a 3000 miles trip on those tires with no rain?

P l e a s e
value your life more than that. If you can't afford tires , keep the road trips to less than 100 miles, or something.....................
