So the other day my truck got flat tires, i went on craigslist got 4 35x12.50x15 Bfgoodrich all-terrian t/a 12ply with about 90% tread left for 40bucks not each for all of them. They do have some dry rot however (mostly in between the treads, along with one has it on the side wall) . Im thinking of putting tubes in the tire? Any suggestions thanks.

 

Yes, If they are dry rotting do not use them. Especially if you plan on loading your truck up heavy. Just my opinion but I would not use dry rotted tires, they are already on the down hill slide

They arent that bad. I just want a fail safe , cuz i need tires and i cant afford brand new ones these were a great deal.

 

Throw em on with no tubes, Tubes in radial tires is a worse idea then running dry rotted tires, the side walls flex and will pinch the tube. If anything the dry rotted outer will fly off before the cords and the inner rubber fails. also they are 12 ply, that's a heck of alot of ply..... Just keep an eye on them. Ran many a trailer tires like that and most are still holding fine.....
