damn it!
three of us - MD, Drac and myself - should have gone there together .. could have some fun with reading DOT numbers…
... anyway, i have sent one of my hub's workers to Q-Tire, and they got it done.. will check the DOT number later... let you know whether it's older than 6 years.. :)
thanks to all...
