Fred,

Thanks, sling away! Just make sure you are slinging spare parts my way, HA!

I don't base in the same place any more, so took the Vidette down, Took a lot off profile because I got tired of being yelled at for it and other things....

I had three family emergencies back to back, had to dedicate more time to them than posting here....

I do what I can to be constructive and share personal experiences. Sometimes we tend to have rare moments when we have had a different experience than others, tires, being this thread, is one of them.... GoodYear, BFG, Fearstone, haha, D.L.'s, there are lots of different makes and qualities of tires out there.... My experience so far with my Firestone Destinations has been good. I think I'm going on 7 months and they haven't exploded yet, haven't lost a tread and they are wearing quite nicely. They are great on wet roads at HWY speeds, great in the sand, mud or some of the rocky trails up and down the eastern seaboard. Lots of folks would turn up a nose due to the brand... to each their own....

Well, sorry, have to go, can't ramble too much today....

Happy Birthday, America!!! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" />
