View attachment 45999 Not sure what to do as we had a nasty blowout on my 16" BFG KO rear tire (5 Years old with 45k ) yesterday near Westwold, BC on highway 97.
2004 F350 short box with Northern Lite 8'11 camper towing a journey Jon boat. Truck, airbags meet legal weight requirements.
Damage to box but safely no one hurt but scary needless to say. ICBC claim on comprehensive firstly.
Had cell coverage so BCAA was there within the hour with a 20 ton jack and some kind hearted BC forest firefighters came forward and protected us from the oncoming vehicles laying out safety cones, etc.
I am sure many have faced similar situations so looking for further advice on what best to do. In the meantime I quickly replaced both rear tires with the same BFG KO tires. My Vancouver truck sits mostly with the tires exposed to the sun but I have checked them many times for chalking. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Bigger tires and rims are one logical solution but a costly upgrade.
Thanks in advance.
