Old tire disposal
While crawling around under the truck today checking fluids, I was looking at the spare tire, both mine and the truck's. Mine probably won't go away anytime soon, but the truck's is dry rotted and unusable. Knowing that there are places that sell newer 9x20 NDT tires already mounted on wheels...
