    Jeez, I bet it won't balance without having a pound of stick on weights, there is a rust/gouge that looks nastier than a snaggle toothed prairie dawg.

    They paid what they wanted to get what they wanted. Not many of these rims are in a condition to bolt on and look perfect.

    That being said... that is bolt on and look perfect in the color you wanted money. JFC.

    First of all... how many months are in your years?

    Secondly... a 3 year old tire is expired for you?

    I'm not saying that particular tire is "good", but my tires go A LOT longer than 3 years.

    the first two numbers are the week
    the second numbers are the year.
    and i ride multiple bikes so i dont replace tires every three years. I try to wear them out first.

    Yes weeks, not months. My tires last for years as well because I switch off between three bikes. I was on my 91 one morning going to work, an idiot cut in front of the cars in front of me, pick up truck in front of me crashed into the car in front of him, I saw it coming and started applying front brake and felt like the tire was breaking traction, what I ended up doing was splitting between the chaos, it was a nano second reaction and literally I rode through the smoke and chit. The tires that were on that bike were maybe 15 years old, that night I ordered new ones. Peace - I think my latest tires were a year and half old when I bought them possibly.
