Two views of a truck rear wheel with Ameritrac tire and leaf spr…

My temporary junkyard tires have started to give out. Maybe it was those 2 trips to Hot Springs for rock crawling & 2 to Coon Creek. Or maybe it was setting the cruise at ~95mph all the time. Or maybe it was the 12 4x4x10s & 9 2x4x16s & 3 2x4x12s & 4 2x4x8s & 6 80-lb bags of QuickCrete on the hitch hauler yesterday. Or maybe it's that they're pushing 9 years old... Who knows?

2 days after I removed this tire & stashed it in my side yard, it blew out, just sitting there. I wonder how long it would have taken if I had kept driving...
