The Good news....I love these tires and was planning on replacing them when they wore out with the same and possibly 33" if they offered that size by then....................

The Bad news.....I was passing through a small town I've never been to before and ran over something really nasty...saw it fly out my rear fenderweld in my side mirror...looked like about the same size as a brake pad...thought it might be mine...yikes...pulled over (was only doing 25mph) and as I hopped out to investigate could hear air rushing out of the tire. It wasn't flat until I got out my jack. I didn't want to put the new spare on the rear axle as the other tires are probably about 1/3 to 1/2 worn...afraid of the limited slip having issues. Put the new spare on the left front and rolled the worn left front to the left rear as a spare. So far...no issues with TOD that I can notice.

Tried to get the flat repaired as I had road hazard...they said it was too bad to repair and I really had felt that way before I asked. Tried to order a new one for replacement and found out the company had gone out of buisness about a year ago. Was told that another company had bought them out and was supposed to resume production but my tire dealer has not heard when that is to happen. I gave them a week to see if they can locate another one laying around somewhere for a spare...probably not going to happen! Figure if I don't hear anything positive in a week, then I'll buy a 265/75/R16 Yokahama Geolander as a spare as it will have the same diameter & tread pattern but will be load C as opposed to my G.D.'s being load E.

If I can't get these when I need new tires I'll probably have to mount my original wheels up with dedicated snows for winter and buy MT's for these wheels for other duties.

Really liked the duality I was getting out of these for winter/summer use...darn it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
