i have run mine down to less than 5 psi and never had a problem, i have the 35's and will soon be buying the 37's. I have heard alot about the side wall being too soft and i think that people only say that becouse they bag so well. Afew will always tear.

how did it happen anyway?

Any tyre can be punctured no matter what the make!!!

I put a slice in a 38.5 Baja Claw about 10 inches long in the side wall! The tyre was in very good nic (about 95%). Like i said this was on a Baja Claw which has one of the strongest sidewalls available for 4wdrives :shock: . A rock or even a bit of sharp wood can destroy anything!

If it was a blow out than thats a different story, but a puncture or slashed tyre is all part of the 4wheeling game!

I have been running MTR's for a while and usually run them at 8-9psi offroad. I have never had any problems - and I have driven over some extremely sharp rocks.

Like POS said, you can puncture anything - but I think on average MTR's seem to be a bit better than some of the other 3-ply sidewall radials around.

Black Duck is open to just about anything. Bikes, buggies and 4WD's. rego isn't even an issue.

The tyre got buggered driving up a rock ledge. Front went up , front went down, tyre went Psssst.

yeah I know things get damaged ... part of the fun really. But you have to admit it is a very cool photo, right near the Durawall Logo ... :cool:

Yes that is a cool photo :cool: you should send it too Good Year so they can use it for people who can't read, in explaining the difference between puncture proof and puncture resistant. :D

I like how the litte tear in the Durawall logo points right at the rip. :D
