OK so I'm either going to do what vahalla suggests (E to spare and get a D, less $$) or go all E like time2roll suggests (put a good D on the spare, more $$$).
Seems a shame to get rid of tires with no wear on them, maybe 10,000 total miles, but then I'm gonna have to get rid of them in 2 years anyway. Have to call my tire dealer and see what is what. Thanks for the input.
So I think I'll have a beer.
Get rid of them. Or your going to spend more time on the side of the road. And I say that from experiance. Tires ROT sitting still. Tires lubricate themselves when the flex while rolling. No rolling no lube. so they dry out. Does NOT matter how many miles they have on them, as you already found out. Again before you get high PSI tires. Be sure your rims can take it.
I would get them off before your next trip. Or keep an eye out for a place to pull over. Especially if you had to go very far on the single tire after one blew. It more than likely damaged it further. And I can't stress this enough. Get good tires. Either Maxxis or Endurance.
