Oh thanks! Very kind of you to offer. It's all good. It's the price you have to pay to play the game sometimes.
I just did a 5 tire rotation not 500 miles ago so the new tire i have to buy will match the new one that just went on the passenger rear.

That seems like more than just running over something on the road. You sure your pressure gauge is working properly? I run that exact same tire, so I'd like to know if there's any sort of defect in them.

Yes sir the gauge is working properly as I checked the other 3 tires and they are at 29-31. The driver front was the 2nd tire on the air up. It looks much worse than it should have been as I couldnt get to the shoulder very quick due to traffic and I'm sure that added to the damage.
I have no question as to me buying another one and slapping it on without any worries. Even with my 2 year old in the jeep.

Holy crap... glad you guys are ok....and even though its more money...this is why I put road hazard on mine. As far as I know and as far as what I have done... Discount Tire will warranty the tires even if you didn't buy them from them. As long as they're in new enough condition and I believe it's even prorated after that. They cover down to 3/32 of tread.

I guess I should make that a little clearer... You can go to Discount Tire and buy the road hazard warranty from them.... Then they will cover it. As long as they're in new enough condition I haven't had any issues whatsoever with buying on road/off-road warranty

I wish I could have bought from Discount tire. But when I was ready to buy they did not have 37x13.50r17 at all. So I bought them online from TireCrawler.

Oh ok..... Well that does happen but like I was saying... You should check with Discount Tire because I think even though you did not buy the tires there, you can still buy the warranty for the tires. At least that's what I did on my mud Grapplers. They had about 50 miles on them and I bought them off of Craigslist and cost me about 96 bucks a tire for 40 inch mud Grapplers. I'm buying a set of BFG km2 mud terrains from one of the guys on the Forum here and I'm going to them to purchase the road hazard warranty as well.

Not to bad but my most common trail damage. Lesson learned , always watch where you're going. [emoji23]instead of staring in amazement at an obstacle.

I feel like I go through 1 per trip. I should probably relocate it

This is my third one in six months [emoji23] the thought of relocating, has come up every time. Probably wouldn't have bent the tie rod , if it had been relocated. Maybe I'll actually do it this time.

Yep..... Unless I'm getting some sort of a special treatment it should be just fine since you only have five thousand miles on them. Probably won't work on the one that you destroyed though LOL

Yea, just keeps getting bumped down the priority list.
Guess that would be a cheap gift idea.

It's good to hear that you and your boy are okay...catastrophic front tire failure at highway speeds don't always end well...
Speaking of tire failure, these words were muttered by the captain of my flt to San Francisco from HI recently..."don't be alarmed to see fire trucks escort us to the terminal after landing...we have a low tire pressure warning, and they are there only if we have an unfavorable outcome "...he said this while we were 40 mins out...alcohol consumption increased dramically right afterwards...

Thanks!
Haha! I can only imagine that. I don't drink but might partake in 1 or 2.
I think the fact that I recognized the jeep pulling as a sign and got slowed down to under 40 before that happened helped to minimize the outcome.
