Jerry said it was a bit of dirt roading and some moderate wheeling.

So, to add to my list i think my clutch might be shitting the bed...And oh, i have a great story about my Blazer. Lets just say if you have the classic tread BFG mud terrains start looking for spares now.

Why? Just because they are out of them across the country and are impossible to get?

yeah, so here is where I stand on my tires. 4wheelparts will replace the one I had the blowout on for free, but like Dan said they are impossible to find. It appears BFG stopped production on them even though they do not yet offer the new tread design for anything smaller than a 17 inch rim. Not to mention all the guys who run this tread now and are shit out of luck if they lose a tire. So, it looks like I will be getting 4 new tires for the Blazer and hawking the 3 leftovers on ebay or whatever for as much as I can get for them. On the bright side, with some all terrains on there i might get like 12-12 1/2 miles per gallon instead of the 11 I get now.
