Glad that no other damages accrued, and that a full stop was safely made.. Are LT tires on the replacement list?
I've got to keep H-rated rubber on the beast until after September.And I don't have a spare set of wheels which means I'll have to live with these.
It was the VERY OLD Michelin OEM type tire which grenaded.I was shocked when it happened but not surprised.
When a clock or a calendar dictates a departure date rather than actual project completion I'm always at risk.It's the way of the low buck scientist I guess.
