I thoroughly agree with the thought process being a retired EE working for the same co. for 36 years. PE was not a job requirement as there was a "Company PE" that signed off the approval block on all drawings and took the legal responsibility.

Well, although these tires were in good shape as far as tread was concerned, they looked real sad. All were flat, but new tubes fixed that. In addition to years and years of scuffing and fading, they had paint splattered on
