These are the tires on my truck, see the picture. Based on the picture, would you replace these tires? All 4 look basically the same. In slick road conditions they slide around and I have to drive much, much slower.

Thanks in advance!

If the truck is used on road or is a daily driver, I would definitely replace those tires. If it was a farm only truck you could use them a little longer if you needed to but even then I would replace them. Your safety and life depend on those tires!

Rubber gets hard as it ages and gets less grippy over time.
A fresh set of rubber will give you much more traction.

As age checked as those tires are, definitely replace.

Yes. Firstly , like others say....your life depends on the rubber you drive on. Second, fresh tires are like Christmas anytime of the year.

Those are aged and just looking for trouble. If I am correct, tires come with an A,B,C rating for traction. I forget which way the rating goes but the softer the tread the better the traction. I had some hard rated rubber and they were dangerous on wet pavement. Harder tread is longer tread life but no traction. Softer tread is great traction and shorter life.

There is so many different things that come into play with tires.

If you feel the need to replace them go for it. If you even are thinking about it

It all comes down to what your saying when you say drive much slower that very well be how I drive all the time.

In wet road conditions I can slide with brand new tires I can break them loose just by mashing the throttle.

Then in the past I drove Cars I did not drive on wet roads

$950 - what type/size tires did you get??? I just bought new 33" Falken AT3Ws for my Cruiser a month ago and they were less than $900 OTD.

Les Schwab. I didn't purchase based on price. 31x10.5R15LT sounds about right. Back Country. Pretty aggressive tread but not swampers. :-)
