Tire tread Separation

Run! Dont walk! For the nearest tire change.

Cooper Zeon 2XS was my fatty choice. The UTCQ or Tread Wear rating of 280 is a bit on the soft side. But the "rounded" profile may be worth consideration, if otherwise you arent bullish out of the gate. Cooper, BTW, is US made and may be another consideration.

They gave you grief Have you seen the work it takes to swap tires on a rear rim. Well! Let me tell you, there is no well! That grief was overflow I guarantee.

I'm on Mexican's boat, since there is no rim damage I'd bet it was pinched too hard and damaged the cord when it was installed.

I'm enjoying the BFG G-Force 225/55 VR16 installed last month, it's been a good tire.

I will look into the BFG G-Force because I might be able to find that locally. Last time I checked there were no local dealers for Raptors, and I'm impatient enough not to want to wait for it to be delivered.
