When it comes to, sitting on something with ONLY two tires.
I want, 'fresh' tires, (less than a year old)
AND, even though they are the same brand/model,
MADE in the Same Country.
Two different country manufacture,
(even though they are the same make/model,
even though the, Company,
specifies a certain, 'mix' of components.)
ARE, two different tires.
Something on 4 wheels, Yea cheep (old, 'new', rubber),
when it sits more than driven. Especially trailers.
However one time, (just once), got extremely lucky on a set of, 'new', 'old' tires. Put them on a dog trailer, and they lasted 40,000 miles. then when the side walls started showing cracks, put heavy tubes in them, and they went another 20,000.
Hard tires: About 5 years ago, bought a older Jeep Wrangler. It had, what looked like, bran new tires. Great tread, and several mold vent strings.
After a week, found out ya couldn't pull your hat off on a windy day, downhill, on a dry tar road. Then one day it rained, the roads were just, 'moist', And I SLID ALL OVER.
(Found out, NEW tires were put on, 9 years ago, than it sat in the garage, not driven)
When I put new ones on. The local tire guys, (two brothers doing that for only 50+ years), kept them, and said:
"A-Yep, dem vill make good farm trailer tires, cas da ain't no good fer da road".So, to make a long entry, short.
(I know, already to late)
My opinion. Two tires, (on something I am sitting on),
Fresh, (less than a year old), and Same Country.
Oh, and good luck with bike bandit.
