    Alternative Fuel For M998

    Dry rot is a crap shoot. I have had tires with cracks that I drove on for years , made in the 60’s recapped in the 70’s driven till 2020. Still worked till I put on some “newer” shoes. Have some “army” recaps from the 90’s that looked new but came apart as soon as they hit blacktop.
