Joined the ker-pow!!! club.

Monday was on I 84 by Twin Falls Td. and BANG!!! The starboard side rear tire let all the air out at once. Blew on the inside wall. No damage. Tacoma brand. Good Sam had a helper there in 30 minutes. Went into town and got brand new ones all around. Do not want to go through that again. All your falt Doug. Just kidding.

Dick,

That KER-POW stuff is no fun is it! Glad you did not get much damage to rig. Replacing all of them is a good idea.

Travel safely. Saw where there is a huge snow storm hitting the Glacier area. Hope you don't run into that.

Dennis and Mary Kay

Been there, too, Dick. I'm glad you had no damage. We've never had damage, either, but it's probably just a matter of time. You two take care and enjoy.

Was the "ker-pow" loud enough to be heard in the TV? Glad you escaped damage.

Rolling on my Tacomas gets more and more interesting.

We had 2 Tacoma's go one day apart on our way to TX in January. We paid $2400 for the repairs. We have a high deductible and of course it was two different times, so we would have received $100 in reimbursement if we went through the insurance. They advised us to pay ourselves and save the declining deductible for another time. So be grateful if you have no damage.

Dick and Toni,

We are still on our original Missions. Looked at the database and found that we have 15,800 miles on them sofar.

We're on borrowed time. Looking forward to replacing them next week in Eugene.

Thanks for the reminder!

For everyone who has had the replacement tires shipped to them...How long do you have to get them replaced before you have to call them to pick up the old tires. I am a bit on the lazy side with this hot weather and don't want to hook up the rv to go to the shop in this heat.
