Pat:

Since you brought the LT tire concept into the fray, I just wanted to pass on an observation. After the 2499 header was reinforced, we went for a long (for us) trip to Southern Maine. It was...

I believe that you really pinned down one of the major contributors to ST tire failure: Excess Speed! If a tire is rated for 65mph max and someone tows at 80mph they have pretty well used up all the...

Dave,

I wouldn't base your decision on what one tire dealer says about damage from a blowout. I've seen pictures of damage from radial TT blowouts that caused extensive damage to the TT.

Norm,
Pretty clever idea about the winshield washer spraying on the transmission cooler. Nothing like a shot of cool water to bring temperatures down. If you use winter mix, with alchohol, it'll...
