First off its an LX450
get familiar with the lineage And f'ck Gorman it broke my running board
And your poll is all messed (your pole is all messed up to, sandpaper and spit and all). My version is the absolute truth where your version seems to omit all the important features.
Edit: I'm winning

Are 4303 the last digits or is 303 the last digits? It makes a 20 year difference! 6 year old tires are NOT old tires. I'm running on tires produced in the '80's on both the '55 and the '60 though the tires are due in for replacement on the '60 this year due to wear. The tires on the '55 still have alot of tread so they should be good for a few years yet. It's mostly relatively low speed and poor roads here in Guatemala anyways.
All this talk of old tires is making me think about taking two spares as I have 6 old 32" tires for the '60. I don't want any problems as I drive north from Guatemala on these old tires.
The way I learned it is if the tire is older than 6-7 years dump it. It doesn't matter how much tread it has on it. It could have sat on the shelf its whole life and appear brand new. Rubber degrades over time and therefore I am not going to risk my life on 6-7 year old tires.
I had a similar blow out on "pre-owned" tires that I had on my 60 and I am NEVER going down that road again. HTH.

Funny how neither version mentioned that Randy called me first.

Actually Randy didn't mention that he called you first. That cheating bitch
It's the Hawaiian style pot holes the size of a Geo, Chuck. Those swallow cars whole and spit out rust at the other end. Gotta watch out for those buggahs.
EDIT: Or is it the Civil Service patch jobs done with needles and spikes in tar?

I thought that was only here in Guatemala (well at least everything but the rust)!!
The 62 thing is part of the problem. I think Cliff (the guy from the bar?) said the 62 weighs more than the 60 and was set up for far greater speed, thus the camber is not adjusted correctly on the 62 for local driving leading to excessive tire wear, and if the brake blowers are not working, the 62 is prone to bead failure on high speed interstate runs. These problems plague only the 62, not the 60.
By the way, bet the GF was impressed with an adventure like that!

What are brake blowers and where are they found?
That's gotta hurt, knowing you are second.
Every body knows Mark does not work on rigs with Fuel Injection. (unless it is the wifes)

Sorry, one of those tongue in cheek smart ars comments. But if you watch a short track NASCAR race, you will understand the brake blower/bead failure comments or camber and high speed blow out problems. BTW, Do you remember Cliff from "Cheers" the postal letter carrier who knew everything about everything, or not and thought he did?
But hey, did I say the headlights look funny on a 62? (Get a 60!
)
