RE: Big Dog's new boots

in Outdoors and more2 years ago

I tend to be the opposite, play it safe and change the tyres just before I need to although probably left it too long with the Big Dog. I've had a blow out whilst doing 120kph and it wasn't any fun so I'm a little cautious.

These BFG's are the business huh? Such capable tyres. I'm pretty chuffed with having them on now.

Sort:  

If that was the blowout I remember seeing it was quite the shredded thing! Tyre looked worse than a newborn horses hoof!

I had a "perished looking" tyre according to my mechanic that I should think about getting replaced. One month later it just popped. Fortuantely I was parking but that was a pisser.

They really are. Proper tyres!

That's the one. I was lucky to get away with it so lightly, it could easily have gone far worse...and that wasn't even an old tyre. I've always been careful with tyres, check pressures weekly and visually inspect, seems prudent.

That image is a newborn horse's hoof? Ye gods!

I saw a clickbaity video which I clicked saying newborn horses gives are like alien monsters and they were right, they really were!!!

I guess you have to with the driving you do. I check mine every few weeks for pressure as I know it shags the mileage if they are too soft. With my old monster I need the best consumption I can get!!

I just googlerised it...WTF, who would have thought. Fucken wacky horses man. (Nature is weird though right?)

Nature is weirder than a baboon's ass!
