| I have a few friends in the tire business who have both told me that dry rot on the outside doesn't mean the tire is bad on the inside. While you may look at that tire and think "holy cow, this thing's ready to blow up" the structural integrity of the sidewall might not be compromised at all.
But it might be. And since you're talking about a part that can fail and cause catastrophic damage? Well, my best friend gave me some advice years ago that stuck with me. "I've been selling and fixing tires for 20 years, man. If there's ONE thing I have learned it's this: Dont buy cheap tires. Just DON'T. You can skimp on anything else you want to save a few bucks, but if your tires are sh*t you ain't going ANYWHERE, except maybe the hospital or the dealer, or both."
And he's right. There's a lotta stuff on your boat and your truck that can break. You don't want tires to be high up on the list.
