Regarding a different thread about whether to get new spindle seals or not: https://www.cj-8.com/threads/spindle-seal-dana-30-replace-dilemma.50793/#post-428220
I got the following info from my local 4x4 shop:
TIRES - have gone UP in quality due to federal regulations. Also, the technology of tire rubber compounds has gotten better. Rules saying tires are only good for 10 years came from an industry liability situation.
SEALS - My old Spindle seals from 20-30+ years ago look fine. People on the thread above say re-use them. My shop concurs, they explained that my old ones where probably made in USA and really good quality from back then. Today's seals are made overseas and are cheap (both cost and quality) in comparison.
