    Default Worn Tires are a bitch!

    picked up these wheels not to long ago and the tires were absolute shit. holes in the sidewalls, worn to the braiding





    had to use a ziz wheel and tin sheers to get the things off. the bead wouldnt break they were so worn down.





    finally got them off



    wheels are for sale let me know if anyone is interested

    then who ever is working the machine is doing it wrong. it might be a bitch but they can come off. Never in 2 year working at a goodyear have i seen tires not come off a rim.
