Summit Racing seems to be the best place to go, free shipping also.

Try DuckDuckGo instead of Google

Unlike Google, they don't track every keystroke you make and sell the data to someone else

The NO NO the tire guy is talking about is DOT regulation. 7 year life on tires. Dry rot normally get tires that are not driven a lot.
TJ might know better...believe he worked DOT ? ?

He also said low speed driving,5mph--30mph would be ok

The rubber compound gets so hard it is like ice skating even on dry roads. I had a set of those on mine when I first got it and when I got the brakes together and was testing them I thought they were not working until a buddy watching told me they were all locked up and sliding. Picture a piece of wood sliding along pavement. Yea, they will hold air but they are far from safe and if you have an accident the other persons lawyer is going to have a field day with you! There may not be any inspection for your vehicle but you are still required to self inspect and keep it in a safe operating condition.
