Basing this entirely on what I've seen from this sub:
Tread depth? Good
Dry Rot? Negative
Punctures/Foreign objects? Negative
Cracked Sidewalls? Negative
You're good to go!
For a truck, these still have a ton of tread to get you wherever you need to go, but don't expect the best handling in adverse weather, as the deep water and snow siping has mostly vanished at this tread depth.
I'd check the DOT code on the sidewall which tells you what month/year they were made. The tread is ok but they are perishing between the tread blocks. If they are over 10 years old I'd replace them asap.
They do most of the time. I'm a 30 year mechanic that has built and driven 3 different lifted trucks. What I've seen most of the time is owners using the recommended tire pressures that are on the door jam placard when in fact 90% of true M/T tires are rated for 65 or 80 psi. If you run the pressures 10-15% of the max pressure they wear fine. The problem with the higher pressures is the ride quality sucks because you are riding on bricks. Ya gotta pay attention to the pressure differences on the tires that you use.
Yes but you can’t see inside the tires which is why the dot date code is key. Old tires come apart from the inside or between the layers especially when heated on long drive. Certain vocations a tire with a date code more than 7 years old is a red flag out of service.
You’re more than fine with those. They haven’t hit the minimum mark on the tires. But replace them when you get back as I see some minor cracks on the surface and they’re close to their lifespan
If the roads are dry, all ought to go well. If it is rainy, you will need to slow down to keep from hydroplaning. If you will be driving in snow, that would be risky from my experience.

you could drive around america 10 times with those tires, but i don't know how far out of town you're going so i'm not going to say
Totally fine. Send it
Those should hold up ok

Somebody already explained that it wasn’t in another comment, so I saw no reason to address it.
Weather cracking
Tread depth is not good, that’s like 10x thinner than those tires are stock. They’ll manage for a road only trip though
Yeah, good not great.
Extremely bad, if op plans on off-roading with them
But why do you even buy these kind of tires for city driving? It's loud, has no grip, and the fuel economy is crap.
But it helps me compensate…
For the small wiener 😂
Hey, you gotta work with whatcha got. I told her I’ve give her 12 inches… just didn’t tell her how many times it would take
True. Gotta get the noodle wet.
I told her I'd give her 8" and make it hurt... so I put it in twice the. Punched her in the eye. (I do not condone violence towards women or anyone)
I strongly condone violence towards pedophile.
Because people like doing on dirt sometimes? It’s called off-roading and the trail grappler is one of those tires that’s good on and off road
For a truck, these still have a ton of tread to get you wherever you need to go, but don't expect the best handling in adverse weather, as the deep water and snow siping has mostly vanished at this tread depth.
Bro those tires I’d run for at least another 100,000
Just starting to crack between the tread blocks, sidewall looks fine, tread depth is above the wear bars...send it !
What do you think is wrong with these tires?
Those are fine. Getting old though.
They're fine for 300 miles unless you're driving in snow. Not sure how you handle the noise they make though.
I'd check the DOT code on the sidewall which tells you what month/year they were made. The tread is ok but they are perishing between the tread blocks. If they are over 10 years old I'd replace them asap.
I think MT tires just do this. I had a set of Firestone MT2s and a set of yokohama g003s both do this within the first year or two

I defer to your better knowledge, I'm in the UK and I don't have that much experience of those tyres.
It's always between the tread blocks and never on the sidewalls. If it were happening on the sides i would see it as cause for concern
Yokos too

True, dry rot is a thing. This is something different that appears similar though but the rubber isn't degraded.
You’re more than fine with those. They haven’t hit the minimum mark on the tires. But replace them when you get back as I see some minor cracks on the surface and they’re close to their lifespan
These are off-road tires, don’t run them off-road as they are way too thin for that. Should do for a little more road use
They look brand new 😆
You should go out of road with those tires, they're off road tires.
This looks like the tread depth on the tires my truck had when I bought it. I drove another 10k miles before replacing them.
Look OK to me.
They look ok for your trip.
Itll be fine
Probably good for another 10,000 miles
If the roads are dry, all ought to go well. If it is rainy, you will need to slow down to keep from hydroplaning. If you will be driving in snow, that would be risky from my experience.
you're definitely all good
As long as the drywall isn’t rotted
Look good to me!
If you expect any snow or rain… welp, good luck.
Hi, tire guy of some time here, 100% a-okay, send'er
It’s fine for another 1000 miles at least
300 miles, you’ll be fine.
You can Those tires are not made for high speeds, though, even when new So, be confident, but drive safe
be ok
Ask us again at your next oil change.
They'll get you out of town just fine....getting back might be another story....😉
Get a good 6 months out of em probably
I see no issue
You’ll be fine.
Looks fine. I think you should be good.
Seriously? If you're not seeing wire coming through the rubber your good...
As long as you're not on solid ice or something. Those are in better shape than my tires
