Good job Bruce!

Let me guess, they were either drunk, not 4WD rigs, and/ or tires too full of air???

I pulled a Toyota Dolphin motorhome off the sand dune road to Shell Island one night!

Was doing some on-line checking into tires and it turns out that the Michelin LTXs have THREE BELTS OF STEEL COMPARED TO ONLY TWO FOR THE BFG AT TAs.

One more belt on the sidewall for the TAs, but of course it is not steel....probably polyester or something similar.

First flat on half life tire second on half life spare third on brand new tire forth on half life spare They are Cooper tires 305 -70 -16 35# air average speed 8 mph All flats were right in the tread. I think they pick up rocks and hold them between the tread and just work there way in. Or maybe I just got all my flats for the next ten years in one winter!
