terrible way to start
check this out.to start out and give you a visual. i have a blazer with 38.5's on it and 9 inches of lift. things pretty big..so...
i go out in the mornin to start it up and let it warm up.( i drive to a friend house and pick up my van to go to work in.)if anyone on here has or has had swampers, you know when they are cold they will beat you to death. so i start going throught the neighborhood and i start to realize it a little rougher than usual.
nobody is on the road this early so i pull over and look and my right rear tire is ALMOST flat. so i think damn, better limp it home and get my other truck and fix the tire this afternoon. so i turn around in a driveway and start home. i only have about 2/3 of a mile to go.
get to about 15 or so and BOOOOM!! the whole freakin tire blows completely off the rim! felt like the rear of the truck dropped off the earth!! so i had to tow my truck about a 1/4 mile to my house and now i have to but new tires.(the other three are almost gone anyway)

That sucks man goodluck.
Hell I have Nitto Terra Grapplers and if my truck sits for a few days when it's cold they get flat spots. I know how bad Swapers suck my dad had 39.5 TSL's on his 90 Blazer and it would sit for weeks at a time.
