Disapointed with my BFG M/T's
This was while traveling on a gravel road at the vaal this weekend. Anyone else experienced this with a BFG M/T?
We had other cars travelling on the same road on cheap road tyres and they had no problems.

Sorry to see this.
What were your tyre pressures and how much weight did you have on the patrol?

Sorry to see / read about your misfortune......
1. the Tyre appears to be damaged all around; with other words it appears that the visual damage was caused after the tyre was already "flat"..... is it possible that you had a slow puncher which caused the tyre to overheat and burst ?
2. I suggest that you take the tyre to the place were you bought the tyre from or any other tyre place ( selling Michelin & BFG). Request the salespeople to have a Michelin Representative come out and evaluate the tyre and the cause for the damage.

That tyre was driven flat and you will waste your time with any tyre company to argue the point
Like Tinus said tpms ... and sorry for your loss

My tyres on my Patrol stay on 2.1 when I even drive 4x4 and I do not get the tyres broken!

Check the RIM and VALVE for a slow leak .. the tyre might 've been fine on inspection before it was fitted .. maaqr die murre by die wiele plekke kyk nie na die rim en valve nie
