wore out to some guys is bald. to me, when I get into the 5/16" area......it is time to be summer or bail.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

See if you can order them from Tirerack.com. I get good deals from them for my vehicle and they drop ship to local shops for install. They also pre-negotiate valve stems, etc.

The Yoko Geo ATS has been a great tire for us. Tougher than hell, great for trailering, gravel, etc.. I'm not a big fan.. ![[Linked Image]](http://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg342/steveberrett/Mobile%20Uploads/2DB78897-F935-4FB7-B876-1139B42B07C2_zpsswliwgvh.png) If a "tough" tire is the my main goal I buy M55's.

They must have had a bad batch or quality control was asleep?!
That is a [bleep] up tire for sure.
And I should add that we've only had about two sets so less than 12 tires total. Not a huge sample but the ones had/have are great. Wear fine and unlike yours the sidewall haven't a problem at all.
The only tire I've ever had 'let go' was on the interstate at about 70mph. Company F350, front tire(of course), thrashed the wheel well and scared the chit out of me.
Can't remember for sure but think it was either a Michelin or Bridgestone. Tread separated from the tire and started flopping around, luckily I got stopped before it blew-out.

I'm a pretty big fan of Goodyear Duratracs. Work well for what I need them to do.
Not the best highway or trailer tire, but do well in the mud and the snow.

I used Kelly Springfield MSR tires on my Toyota PU and they worked great for me off road. I didn't go "mudding" with them but muddy old well tender roads we no problem. I went online and saw the "AT" TSR tires have the same tread pattern.

Big fan of both Goodrich and Firestone tires. Had Firestone Destination ATs on my Suburban and they were great in the mud and snow.
Will never intentionally put GoodYear on anything I own. Have had several with tread separation and the GSCs I had on Camaros had the grip of a wet ice cube.

My vote also. They will keep my jeep on the road even on 8 psi (normal pressure is 24) because they have strong enough walls. BFG is owned by Micheljn now, BTW.
