I know the tire issue has been debated forever. I am wondering if some of our problems are coming from the amount of skewing that our tires go through when we take tight turns. When I look at a hot tar surface with my tires sliding across at almost a 90 degree angle, it would seem we are almost ripping the tire tread off the tire. When you have a weak tire to begin with, perhaps now its just a tread separation blow out waiting to happen.
Anyways, I went with 17.5 inch wheels, and Sumitomo 215/75/17.5 inch tires. These are 16 ply and am hoping can withstand much more than my China bombs.
