Installing used tires is a credible option as long the customer knows the risks involved IMHO. In todays economic enviroment, companies are looking at saving every last dime if they can. Modifying the mast & OHG are not an option ( to much liability), but tires do wear & installing used tires that are worn to accomplish some specific need is viable option. Of course this is all good because I say so-LOL.

Perhaps buying a brake drum assy w/the worn tire attatched could be option. I had to do this once when the odd tire size I needed was backordered. Atlanta lift wouldn't sell just the tires, I had to buy the brake drums & they left the tires bolted on- Just a thought.
