fringe

Goldfield, Apache Junction, Arizona

when the whitewall on your tire starts to sport a fringe, it may be the time to consider new rubber

Patch that sucker up and top it off with some duct tape and you're good to go. Great find, David. Nice patina on the metal parts. Vote.

What an amazing find, they do look like they've seen better days

This problem can be avoided by buying steel belted radials. Great lighting and detail in this image. Amazing how the rubber, fabric and rim have separated, but are still together. A well observed and photographed image. "V"

Definitely past its prime for the road, but so ripe for photography. Love the light and textures.

superb light and colors, very fine and rich textures! V

The tread doesn't look too bad - it's the shape of it that might make for a bumpy ride...

Great light and colours here! V!

Great capture of this ageing tire.

Looks to me this one needs more than rubber :) Neat how the light brings out the richness of the textures and colours V

A delicious abstract...just so cool to look at! VV

Isn't that interesting! I've never seen anything like it. Excellent capture shot in lovely warm light.

Yep, that one is well overdue!!!

Wow, I was wondering what that was! That's pretty amazing to see. Great shot! V

Wow! I never saw such wear on a tire. The low light makes it pop. "V"

Actually it would be long past the point of needing new rubber. I love how you framed this and it looks very dramatic in the late afternoon light. Love the color and texture too. ~BV~
