Sorry to hear about the tears in your rig Carl. That sucks. I'm about to pass out of warranty so I'm really keeping my fingers crossed.
The thing I can't understand is why some people can wheel their rings, put lots of miles on them, flex them out and not have this happen and others without mods and no wheeling develop these cracks.
And yes Carl, you need 35's. Hopefully Santa will bring you some.
Norm! They happened after our Payette run - ya'll went right and I followed the 80 to the left just before the end of the trail. LC Phil was spotting me and I was not gentle on the clutch - I bellyed down hard, leaving all 4 wheels barely kicking sand. You can barely see the failure points, but from these threads, I became sensitive to look for them. I'm at 27,500 now so I've got a little warranty left...
Hopefully if Santa stacks some 35's under the tree, he'll put some 4.88's in my stocking, too.
