thank you sir! i have a set of mickey thompson 29.5x 10.5 slicks in my garage. how can i tell if theyre any good?


Look at the wear holes in the part that touches the pavement. They get shallower as the tire wears out. Also, the tires should not be hard, but have some softness to them when you depress the surface with your thumb. Finally, look for dry rotting and cracking in the sidewalls. The rubber should look somewhat alive, not dead in appearance. Run tubes also.

Tech should have more info on this, as he has probably checked more slicks than any of us.
