I was just thinking, with the temperatures regularly in the upper 90's or so here lately in Nebraska, about some stories related to hot weather.

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
