For those interested in the 11.00 x 16 LAV Michelin radial tires, I only
have ten left. They are not the pick of the litter, so I’ll catalog their
faults.
I’ve taken close up photos of problem areas on each, so if you are
interested in one, let me know and I can Email photos.

I can be reached at work (714) 375-5822 (ask for Chris) or home (949)
455-9932. Shipping would be at your cost, from Huntington Beach, CA. I’d
be willing to work out driving them to you if you’re within an hour or
two of Orange County.

These tires are 38” high, about 10-1/2” wide, weigh about 95 lbs, and
have a load cap. of 4520 lbs at 80psi cold. Unless otherwise noted (plug
in
#2 and small nail in #10) all problems are surface only, no punctures
that I can find.

1) $45.00: Weather checked. One light, (1mm or so deep) but long (4 or
5”) cut on sidewall. Notch in tread 1/8” deep, Ύ” long. 4 or 5 other
small
cuts or notches on tread. Overall tread thickness of about a Ό”. Deeper
notch on other sidewall, Ό” deep, 1” long. (Five photos available)

2) $50.00: Well worn, 1/8 to 3/16” of tread. Some weather checking. Two
separate cuts on tread, each about 1” long by 1/8” deep. One plug,
which looks like its been driven on for some time. (i.e. holds air).
(Four photos)

3) $75.00: A couple minor tread cuts. Notch at upper sidewall/lower tread
Ύ” long by Ό” deep. 3/8” tread. (One photo)

4) $60.00: ½” deep by ½” long cut in one tread knob. One side worn more
than the other (out of alignment). Tread ranging from 1/8” on worn
side to 5/16” on good side. (One photo)

5) $75.00: One 5/16” dia. By ½” deep hole, does not go through. Weather
checking. 3/16” Tread. (One photo)

6) $45.00: Still mounted on LAV wheel. Pretty heavy weather checking and
cracks. One side worn more than the other (out of alignment?). 2-1/2”
cut on one of the knobs. Half dozen or so small nicks and cuts on tread
area. 7/16” tread depth. (Three photos)

7) $50.00: Two upper sidewall cuts. First is about 3-3/4” long, Ό” deep,
entering at an angle, does not appear to reach cords. Second is 2-1/2”
long and Ό to 3/8” deep. One knob has a deep cut running the width of the
knob (2” long x ½” deep). Tread is about 3/8” deep. (Three photos)

8) $50.00: 1-1/2” long cut half on a knob and half on base tire, about a
½” deep. One knob cut (2” long x ½” deep). One upper sidewall cut, Ό”
deep and 2-1/2” long. 3/8” deep tread. (Three photos).

9) $50.00: Sidewall cut, 4” long, 3/16” deep at deepest point. A half
dozen or so minor tread cuts or nicks, largest 3/16” deep by 1” long.
Cupping
(run under inflated?). Weather checking. 3/16 to 5/16” tread depending on
cupping pattern. (Two photos)

10) $45.00: Cupping (run under inflated?). Weather checking and cracking.
Base tire between knobs cut 1/8” deep and 2” long. Small nail (goes
all the way through though, but could be easily pulled and plugged). 1/8
to 3/16” tread. (Two photos)
