need tire help
Four months ago I mounted 4 brand new Firestone Steeltex AT 265x65x16 on my truck. I was able to buy them for 100 bucks each with the stickers still on them. Last week I was driving down the road and hit a huge pothole because my state is broke. Then I heard a weird noise. I got out of the truck and found one of those lawn wind catchers stuck in the side wall of the tire. The tire is shot. I'm looking to see if anybody has a Firestone SteelTex AT with white lettering lying around in the garage they are willing to sell. I don't want to have one oddball tire on the truck for the next 70,000 miles. I've been checking Ebay and Craigslist with no luck. Thanx Mike

OK, I understand now. The tires that came OEM on my truck was changed after 35,000 miles. Had a blowout on the drivers side and took out both tires and the fender lining. 
I was happy to change them out, I know lots of people have had the OEM tires go bad before they were worn out.
Good luck.

Mike.. Here is a website that I use to find used parts.. You plug in your info and then they search several salvage yards across the US for you... They will email you if they find what you are needing.. and they do list tires...
