Mood: Have Baja Fever

Since we are ripping the ultimate Baja tire theory a bit... Amo Pescar had just installed brand new BFG All Terrains on his camper for our trip in April, 2001... We had a sidewall puncture on a sandy road! It was between Desengano and Tinaja de Yubay... http://vivabaja.com/401 for pics of that trip.

Since ALL tires can get a flat, why buy the most expensive ones?

Neal Johns: in another thread you mentioned Tru-Tracs (the ULTIMATE Baja tire of the 1970's). I bought mine at Dick Cepek's in El Cajon for my Jeep Cherokee Chief. They were great!!! Made by Armstrong Tire Co. who also made the Norseman tires for smaller rigs. think they eventually became Dick Cepek brand tires and I see them adverised by places that also sell Mickey Thompson tires... Two Baja legends of the past (Dick and Mickey).

Best tires ETc.


jrbaja, If you feel the rear end is squirley ,check the long bolts through the center of the leaves of the springs, I had both of them break and it caused swerving all the time ,not just at night. If your shackle bolts are not torked to specfications it will cause this also.
