If it was me I would replace them for safty.
You would not want it to blow out on the freeway at a high speed, it could put you into a accident.

WTF did you do to that tire? And yes, you definitely need new tires. And ditch those side steps, too.

drtyfn- Well i went up to my camp in northern Maine, Its two miles off the tar road and it hadnt been plowed the last few snow storms. Instead of walking in with wifey , three kids, & two dogs I decided to drive in . Made it all but 100' from camp door. Then I got her buried in a snowdrift . I got it unstuck the next day . Overall it cost me $900. for new tires , but it beats pulling a tobbogan with the whole family on it for two miles.

How many miles did you get out of those tires?
I'd say you may need an alignment too!

Way to go on the snomobile!

I'll be real happy if I get 66,000 miles out of my stock tires.

BTW, you say you got a new set for $900?? Is that the going rate for 4 stock replacements balanced/installed??

My son in law has a dog that looks like Your red one, just bigger body. He is getting to a situation He is going to find Him a new home. Not dogs problem. His name is Prince. We were invovled in rescueing this breed and I had His brother Sonny. Sonny had been beaten so bad His left eye turned hard to the left. I tried to find surgeon to reconnect the eye muscle but, none would try. His eye was fine as far as seeing. He just looked more to His direct left than head on. He got sick and died but, Prince His brother is very lonely and We want to find Him a home with another dog. He is the greatest dog especially with kids. He does not even have to know the kids and He will defend them with His life. Well anyway Sonny looked like the light colored guy of Yours. I wish I could get My hands on people that would do that stuff. Nice family, Oh and nice kids also. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

Thanks everybody for the kindness about my kids ! The reason i am here today with a H2 is because of them. Wifey and I were looking at trading in the burb for another suburban at the dealership . They also sell hummers. Well the kids saw the hummers and thats all it took. Now you know the rest of the story.

Jim- Got a price of $198. ea. for exact replacement. I think that i will only replace three and use my spare which is ready to bolt on . I will keep one of the old tires and rim for a spare.

Chrome Dog... The trucks a CH613 w/set back front axle. I wish it was a CL700. I'm just getting it put back together after the paint shop. Its going to pull my lowbed for trucking heavy equipment, it is replacing the ole yellow R600 Mack. Here's a pic of the good ole girl.
