Glad you're still enjoying your time on the road. Be safe -
:stifles a nervous laugh:
I had only put about 2000 miles on the 1998 F-150 with 175,000 miles on the gauge before we headed West for Redondo Beach. I had a look 'round the hood first, but that was about all; I hadn't even done much night driving before the big event.
Fortunately, nothing bad happened.
After coming home (more or less) with the camper, I decided we needed new shocks. Might as well get an alignment while there.
As the truck was sitting up on the lift, I looked at the inside sidewall of a random tire. Yikes!
Checking the other three didn't make me feel any better, comparatively. They were all weather checked on the inside and one had a big cut in the sidewall. On the outside, they looked like black licorice.
I guess that rubber fancifier actually works pretty good, as long as its applied to all surfaces.
Bought new tires.
