Tires and dry rot

[controlfreak]

I found a set of 33X10R15 Buckshot Mudders?? I think...But they have a little dry rot on the side wall. The interior looks and feels flawless but I don't want to throw money away on trash. Does the dry rot mean the tire is worthless? Or just weak and prone to puncture or failure?

it does make the tire a little weaker...The tire complains more when you airdown and make the sidewall buckle. If you run on basic street pressure you are ok. I have heard that with armorall with out the sun for a while it will rejuvinate the tire sidewalls. I've also heard that if it leaks you can get the green slime and put it in.

Not that it will probably matter to you much, but the tires are now sold.
