Has any one experienced a bear chewing on their tires while parked overnight? I've spent a lot of time in the backcountry of East Tennessee and the Southern Appalachian range and have never experienced anything like this. My 2008 LC was parked for a few nights in Big South Fork Recreation Area and I came back to find all four tires had bite marks in them. One had gone flat as a result. We heard from a ranger that a momma black bear and her cubs had been active in the area a few days before. I can only speculate that her bite flattened the tire but the cubs only left teeth imprints.
Attached is a picture of the bite marks in the flattened tire.
Thanks for any input.
