guess there was something pretty sharp on the trail :p ;)


first happening i attended there was a loose hill of mostly fill a h2 and h3 both took out their sidewalls . turned out just below the surface was a rear axle with one leaf spring still attached and one steel wheel still attached . when they got to the top they both sounded like H1's airing down :giggling: that is until all the air ran out ;)


just use that one for a spare and be careful :beerchug:

I didnt even notice it on the trail. Too bad I only bought 4 of them. I am currently still driving on the split tire, but need to change it soon. At least before going off road again.
Crash ?

Well.. At least you've got an EMERGENCY spare now.

I've seen some tires stitched up with stainless steel "thread" and made useable.. May be a chance of do that here and at least make it a little safer for use as a spare tire..

Spoke with the vendor that I purchased the tires frm last week and he sent me another tire and told me to ship the damaged one back to him and he'd send the damaged tire back Mickey Thompson. NO CHARGE except for paying $25 bucks to have it mounted and balanced!!!
