Better on equipment that never sees highway speeds.
I have given up on being shocked by how many people thing that that a spare tire that has been hanging out under there truck are good for full speed and then
when they get to a safe place they don't take the stupid thing off and put a good tire back on. The excuse tends to be "It still has Good Tread On It".

From China -- doesn't mean they won't work fine, but I have a car trailer with tires on it from 1990 and they all still hold air (not that I'd move it with them...)

These were do. Original to the ‘91 tractor.
I still have orginal on the rear of the ‘84, they are a little better. And I have one orginal front and one original rear on the ‘52 Cub. Either life is getting shorter with production age or a good testament tires really like being out of the sun. The ‘91 before I bought it was parked in one place outside for years and all the rubber shows age deterioration with only 185 hrs on the clock. Rear tires had to get replaced immediately.
