How far do you push your tires?

Running the stock Kraton 6s tires with a set of backflip MTs on the shelf - wondering when it makes sense to swap them out

For me it's when the inner foam goes bad

how can you tell? can you feel it?

 

[rgfast]

yes they get soft if that makes sense, kind of like inner tube with really low air pressure. Plus as the foam gets worse tire balance gets really bad because foam starts breaking apart inside tire

Yeah I have a couple sets that feel like there is no foam lol

I've searched for source for replacement foam inserts with no luck for these size tires, been think about Hobby Lobby bulk foam and making my own just not sure it's worth it for time and labor apposed replacement cost of tire and wheel LOL

If they're treaded, typically til the traction's gone. If they're Hoons, til they pop.

Till they can’t go no mooore?

Depends on what the truck is used for, but usually until the tread is gone. I watched a friend shred a belted tire and it broke a shock mount and took a chunk out of the body, and he still needed new tires, so at that time I decided there's no point in letting them get too far gone.
