High Speeds in your dak??

Well, in light of the on-going thread that was started last week about high
speed runs in our trucks..... <sidebar>I've hit speeds in excess of
110-120mph several times</sidebar> Today while out and about, pickin up
vette parts, I discoverd a tire going flat. Off with the old, on with the
spare...

Long story short, my tires each have "cuts" which appear to actually be
seperation marks, presumably from exceeding the 86mph speed rating. These
aint no lil angel hair cracks either, several of them show the cords when
you spread the crack open.

So all yall speed freaks take heed!! It woulda been VERY ugly had those
suckers let loose on a 3rd gear romp :(

New tires will be ordered tommorrow, looks like BFG A/T in a 31x10.50
flavor :)
