Firestone Tires
Hey Everyone,
Recently I purchased a set of 31/10.50/15 Firestone ATX Radial 23° tires on rims for my 87 Ford Bronco. Obviously, I got these used, as they arent made anymore. Well, three of the tires are in great shape with probably 80%+ tread left, but the fourth is a different story. The outside of the tire has some dry rot on it, and last night when I was parking I scraped the curb and knocked some rubber off. I plan on taking these tires back off, but it's a shame. I don't want to scrap 4 tires just because one of them is bad, and I can't afford a new set anyway. I could get a different tire to replace the bad one, but it would be nice if they could match. I assume there's no way to repair a tire in this condition? Does anybody possibly have one of these tires laying around that's still in decent shape? Or any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Randall

I recently visited the Firestone site and saw some 23 degree tires. They had the same basic look as Bridgestone duellers M/T's but the tread bars are at 23 degrees. I wish however they still made the tractor type tread truck tires.
