The question is, did the driver mess the tire up or is it a defect

that thing needs some acne medicine...lol...

bad sidewall of course...but looking at what type of tire it is makes it hard to say whether it is defect or the way the tire was used.... just dont know myself..

look at the tread on these tires..... maybe if they bought new tires when they hit the wear indicator they wouldn't have any issues.... there is a group of people out on a smear campaign for 4WP and this is one of their threads....and this is how they start it...i found this on another site....then they say it was their truck and what not..... this is not 4WP fault and just ignore the thread..... and that pic of the overturned expedition was from the firestone incident that happened a few years back...not from the tires at 4WP...... I have seen these posts on 12 of the 15 forums I sponsor on and the person argues how bad 4WP is and goes on and one and wastes everyones time.....

there are going to be problems with anything that you buy, with the mass quanities of products that are produced, there are bound to be a few defective products in a production run. but remember, for every thread that you see about how bad (flawed) one product is, there are countless accounts of how good the product is. Also, many more people make threads about problems rather than how good their parts are.
