Tire Bulges


Don't Let This Happen to Your Truck


There are over a dozen tire brands currently on
RECALL that your local Offroad 4WP store and other
tire companies have sold.




MUST SEE Cool Video Below:

Over 48,000 Pro Comp A/T LT265/75R16 are being recalled,

Reasons:: A Bulge Can Occur in the Lower Sidewall on the
White Sidewall Which Indicates the Existence of a
Separation Between Two Lower Sidewall Components.

If this is your case, then the local 4 Wheel Parts Performance
Center is required by law to replace them ABSOLUTELY FOR FREE


No Additional Charges for Balance and Rotation, etc.,
as you already have payed for these services.

Toyo USA

Unfortunately my Toyo 285-70-17 AT's are made in China. I still have complete confidence in them though,just bummed Toyo made mine in a Communist country. They do have a new plant in the Southeast. It would be nice if we could only get domestically produced Toyos. We could use the good paying manufacturing jobs.

I'm afraid that the USA is moving into a technology based economy as it can't compete with $3 per day of labor. They will soon have 300 million looking for any work.
