You call your insurance to make a claim, they send out an adjuster, and he looks at it. He looks at the tires, and if he is thorough he could say that since they are Cs they legally dont have to cover it, because the blowout was caused by overloaded tires. (This is why tires chain stores will not do things like mount Cs if the door says Ds or even mount oversize tires, its a liability.)

Does that not sound plausible?

That seems like a homerun for an insurance company to me. They have weasled out of much more difficult situations I assure you.

Nope its Not Plausible because i only carry Liability so if i cause my own damage i dont have anyone to call. i gotta pay to fix it because i'm not paying those legal mobsters any more then i have to.

btw i've never had a blow out, never even known anyone thats had a blow out. a flat yes blow out no. i think it has more to do with interstate driving(long periods of time on the road) in high temps? not so much an issue up here.

10-4, I am guilty of forgetting that sometimes other people use their Excursions differently than I do.

Just wondering if they'll fit. I know people use 265/285 on a regular basis on the Ex's but I can't remember seeing a 305...

Do a search but I'm sure that's the biggest size you can use.
