My thoughts exactly. The tires on it are old. At least a decade, probably older.

This one has 16" wheels on it.

The front tires are shot. I will be replacing them with new tires before I have it towed to my place. I will replace the rears before I drive it anywhere.

LT235/85R16 Load Range E tires run between $100 and $185

My thoughts as well. The tires are at least 10 years old. It will be getting two new front tires before I tow it home and the back tires will be replaced before I drive it anywhere.

It has 16" wheels on it
