Was planning on getting them all replaced this fall. Then I had to rebuild the engine.

All in all they've been pretty good tires. I put over 160,000mi on them and they are still between 7-9/32 with no irregular wear patterns. They were only around 15/32 when I got the truck. This tire wasn't even that warm when it blew, 4 miles after leaving the rest area.

Oh well. At least with the LCAPP national tire program I didn't have to put any money out of pocket tonight.

The fender might end up being almost as expensive as the tire. $229 for a new poly fender, $29.50 for tax and they want another $235 for shipping! I only spent $630 on the pair with all the mounting hardware! Gonna shop around a bit, maybe I can find it in stock at a local shop.

I just replaced one of my fenders and I paid about $74 from the international dealership in Mobile, Al.
