    I typically don't drive faster than 75mph. On this long road trip, I was doing about 65-70. The tire shop guys believe if I went 80-90mph, the VX would of flipped...

    Glad I survived it (and a horrible fuel leak later on caused by the separation that required a fire truck's attention)

    Thumbs down

    I still have my original Duelers from the '01 Dragon and one of them has a "bubble" about 4 or 5 inches in diameter due to beginning tread separation. They have about 20K miles on them.

    I have the original Bridgestone Duelers on my 2000 VX. The tires still look good. 38,000 miles. I am getting worried about the tires after reading what happened to Capri. Should I worry about the tires?

    Ive had two sets of Duelers. Both lasted over 40K each with even wear and no problems. I did rotate them at every other oil change.
