Blowout
Just a friendly reminder: Don't push the 5-year rule on replacing your TT tires. We all know that neither mileage nor treadwear gives a true indication as to how much time your tires have left. This tire had a good amount of tread life when I left the campground Saturday morning. 20 miles later, this is what's left.
This tire was 9 years old. I was living on borrowed time, but won't make that mistake again. Thankfully, I was able to get off the road quickly and safely, and it was an easy tire change. I was white-knuckled for the 150 miles home, fearful that every bump would lead to another blowout. Made it home safely and am tire shopping tonight.
Leaning toward Goodyear (my OEM tires) or Maxxis from Discount Tire Direct as they're $30 cheaper each than the local dealer. Any suggestions as to one over the other?
