Heh, true that, and if one person on the internet says he had problems, they must be bad tires.
Internet reviews are just more data points in our research into products we're looking to buy.

I replaced my cheapo's at about 100 miles. The amount of miles from the dealer to home, then home to the tire shop. My decision was made when I asked my tire guy what he thought and he chuckled and said, I have never heard of these, and I wouldn't trust them. I've used that guy for many years, and I trusted his opinion. I don't know if he read something bad about them on the internet though. I guess if one person on the internet says they worked out great, they must be good tires, but "I" wouldn't use them.

They both blew out, one on each leg of the same trip. They had around 5k miles on them. FWIW, it was during the heat of the summer driving between Texas and Indiana. |
I would be upset too.

I heat lots about "those awful tires" quoting what they read on the internet. We ran over 20,000 trouble free miles on our originals with no problems. We kept ours inglated properly and did replace them when they aged out. Like so many other things internet experts can turn a non-problem scary.

Really no trouble with them, they just seem really big and I don't need mud tires. It seems like a little bit smaller tire would ride smoother. That single axle makes it bumpy enough. We live in really hot country and even though we keep them covered, they're 5 years old and just looking for new ones.
