Hey Cool!! That is a great idea on the tail numbers. I have quite a few pictures (35mm prints) in albums stashed away. When I get a chance I'll browse thru and pull some tail nos for ya.

Well Discount Tire at Cottonwood came thru with the new load range Es. BFG 285 75R16 AT -s 4 of them mounted, balanced, out the door for $596. Hella deal!! It's too bad Discount Tire had to eat it where Michelin would not. DT didn't have to give me a deal at all but they did. It would have easily been over $900 for those meats at regular price. I am also out the $165 for the one I bought in Tucson. They took the tire back and counted that in the final price to get it down under $600.Michelin actually sent me back the shredded tire because they wanted me to see the puncture they found which voided my warranty claim. Turns out the puncture was caused by running over the loose steel threads from the carcass after the tire exploded!! There were wire shards still in the hole from the steel threads in the tire. They didn't even pull them out!! How they couldn't put 2 + 2 together on that one is anybody's guess. I guess I'll be back on the phone with those idiots again today!!

go get em its amazing the lengths they can go thru to avoid backing there product

Yeah they are morons. I called them and they won't do anything. I did tell them how I am advertising against them. I fixed the bent up mudflap and cut up the old tire to get two chunks of tread about 15in wide and 7 in long to hang on the mud flaps to replace the rubber flap that hangs down. When people ask me about the tread hanging there I'll tell them the story. I went to Cuba yesterday for lunch at El Bruno's and told some folks on the run who asked. El Bruno's is a great place to eat BTW. Awesome Mexican food.
