Hey All,

I'll try to keep this short and to the point 'cause it could get really
wordy.

I'm fighting with the ins. co. over my left rear tire. F150 hit me
from

behind, left tail light, 40MPH, $5K in damage but repairable-in the
body

shop now.

He hit my left rear tire(new BFG AT) hard enough to bend the left leaf
spring. It DID NOT cut the tire, blow out the tire, or bend the rim.
It DID put a serious blem half way up the sidewall. I don't trust this
tire now and am arguing that I want it replaced.

Would you guys trust the cords in a tire that's been hit that hard??
I'd really like to know what you think.
TIA,

jc
