Re:Goodyear Blowout
Chris:
Sorry to hear about your tire problems. First, I too picked up on your 13" tire size. The current TM spec if I read thier literature correctly is 14" tires... I would recommend you upgrade all 5 tires and wheels to 14" ASAP. It'll help with the load as well...
Next BOTH tires on the same side blew... Hmmm - Was the weight balanced out during your trip? If for some reason, you had weak tires AND a slight overloading, that may have resulted in your blow out problems...
If these were older tires, it could have been thier time to go... I do agree with the overloading on the odd tire that remains in service after one blows...
Next, carefully check your hubs now and the bearings. Suggest you repack the bearings on boths sides asap.
Hope this helps!
Gregg
