Made for a wild ride going down I-85 in Gastonia doing about 60.
Good thing it was on the rear. Tire was used when I bought it along with one other. Still has decent tread left and had no visual signs that anything was wrong with it.
Gotta love Discount Tire. I bought the two used from a member on here and then two new ones from Discount. They mounted all four and offered the free replacement plan for all 4. I was shocked that they even offered it for the used ones. I kinda balked at the price but went ahead and bought the plan for $23.00/ tire.
Fast forward to yesterday. I carried the tire up to them and they said all I would have to pay was for the new replacement plan for the new tire. So for about $50.00 I get a brand new 32 BFG tire to replace it.

Well really you payed a $115 for the new tire because you had to get the replacement plan for all 5 plus the extra 23 for the new tire...but thats still alot better than buying a new tire, plus you still have the plan for the other used one that will probably blow later. :lol:

I have had a few that have done that on a trailer but that is weird to happen on a vehicle that was no loaded and just driving down the highway. :confused:
 
wow man still alotta meat left on there! Glad youre ok. Wonder what caused em to fail?

Discount tire offers a free replacement/repair certificate for $23.00/ tire (previous price) for anything that happens to it. I bought 2 new tires from Discount and I had 2 fairly new, used tires I bought from a member on here. They even covered the used ones under that plan. Used tire blows out, they put a brand new tire on, I pick it up and pay $31.05. This covers the new certificate for the new tire they put on. So basically I get a brand new BFG for $54.05 (original certificate $23 + new certificate $25.50 + environmental fees) Sure beats the $170. that 32" tires now cost!
