Dang son , Thank god you got that roll cage in! :****:

Exactly bubba! Since we take pics in RAW format here is a blown up version of the front driver tire the one facing down hill. 17psi, bead sealant and the one with the least amount of tread. Opinions please.

No chop yet. Not enough damage....then again I haven't gone through it with a fine comb yet.

That's what I've been asking myself!!!! I've had issues before with burping these junk arse rims. I think going down hill pointed more on the drivers front, it being the least amount of tread and the added weight of the cage....they burped causing it to lung and slide on me. Enough to set the ball in motion..... when I hit the low embankment it lightly flopped then onto it's lid.

In the close up of the tire after the roll (previous post). There is a real interesting pattern to it.....as if it slid a bit and knocked the mud off or some such. Not fully sure all I know is when I started it had mud uniformly all over it. This tire was also flat after wards.......
