Hey all,
This is a thing where Last year I had a blowout or just a leak and then blew...On my '03 Keystone Raptor......didn't know what happened so I put the spare on and gotten another spare that is good...
Now, I went to Moab this last week and on one leg to Dewey bridge from moab, Had another blow on the left rear.. just like the pictures above,.... OK, changed that tire to spare and while I was doing that, I noticed 2 or more of the others were rounded on the tread.... Uh separation!! ...but danged close to blowing.... So all the tires are bad.
Drove Slowly to Moab to replace them and found out the Manufacture code of the tires called "mission" .. was made in West Taipei, Taiwan. !! ALL THE TIRES WERE CRAP..!!
So, I got 6 Tires called "Tow Master".. Found out they are made by Goodyear and in Quebec, Canada.. So better anyway... Same weight rating and Pressure.
Now Before, the old tires were always pretty hot going long distance even aired up properly. .... Now the new tires do properly and are not too hot from highway speeds and I think I am getting better milage judging from the overhead computer verses what I was seeing from the other tires.
So anyway, Look for my other thread on the Moab trip from this last week to see what fun I had regardless.
