Don't they all? Warren will be 18 in less than 3 years and she's still complaining the jurisdiction should be moved to VA where she lives. If that happened, she thinks my child support would double. I can drag it out 3 years easy if it comes to that.

Mornin Everyone.

I agree with you Chris. I'm ready for the weekend. Damn 1st week back after extended break sure is rough... LOL!!! Can't get to bed on time so I can get enough rest so I can get up and get to work on time so I can get out of work on time so I can do what needs to be done so I can get to bed on time. It's a never ending rollercoaster eh? LMAO!!!

On a side note: The stupid biitch agreed to terms on her PNM bill. Thanks to me making arraingments with PNM. Why she didn't do that when it was HER bill is beyond me. Stupid PNM for transferring it to my account after she canceled her account.

I got a few pics Steve. But w/ new changes at work can't post them from here. So gotta find time at home when other stuff is happening!

I hate PNM. They shafted me last time I moved and it took a complaint to the PRC before they would fix it.

PRC = Public Regulatory Commission or words to that effect. They regulate utilities in NM.

Hello all!!

BFG wants the tire to see if there are any defects in it. I left it at the Discount Tire in Tucson who sold me a new one. I have pics, receipts, and the manager in Tucson will go to bat for me but BFG wants the tire. The tire is so shredded there is no way to tell what caused it to blow. I gotta get the pics posted so you all can see it. Tires are 4 years old with less than 20,000mi on them. Half tread depth. Garage kept when not driven. No way should the tires be anywhere close to wearing out. If BFG doesn't make good on this I'll never buy another BFG or anything Michelin owns.

Chris, have you checked the manufacture date on the other 3 tires? How old are they?

From the pics I saw, it seriously looked like the sidewall shredded and blew out. I.E. something common in 7/8 year old tires. Where did you buy those tires from? Did you get any additional discounts on them when you purchased them due to age? etc.

There was a video a while back about tire companies (Sears, etc.) selling 4 year old tires at discount prices. They were still brand new tires since they were never mounted to anything. But, the rubber was already 4 years old when someone would buy those tires. That puts the tires at a half life when still "new". The result... Exactly what happened to your tires.

At any rate... Good luck with BFGoodrich. I don't blam them for wanting the tire. But, I also wouldn't stop buying one of the best tires overall on the market because of one bad apple.

Mfg date on the other 3 tires is 3/3/04 so the tires were only 9 mos old when I bought them in Dec 04. Turns out the Discount Tire in Tucson still has it! So they are going to ship it to BFG (Michelin) warranty center for analysis. I just need to stop by a DT here to fill out a form then wait for the claim package from BFG. Since the Tucson DT already prorated the tread, I doubt I'll get much but I'm still claiming for new mud flaps and gonna have the other 3 tires checked out this weekend.

I had a BFG blow out on 25 north going 75. The tire was new with about 100 miles from Sams.

Mornin All.

Went to Discount yesterday to see what a new set of tars was gonna cost me.

$350 per tire. HOLY ****!!! The tire is less rubber then I had on my Jeep and Broncos. Same overall diameter and width but, less rubber needed to surround the rim. (from 15" to 18" rims). And they are over $100.00 a piece more expensive.

Morning guys. Steve, that sucks about the tire. Eddie, I feel your pain. I have the factory 20's on my '06, and the goodyears are about $275 a piece to replace! That's why it gets its tires rotated regulary, and the air checked weekly, I gotta get as much out of those things as I can!
