The roads were basically along the Baja 1000 route. Lots of washboard, lots of ruts, lots of washout areas.

The problem is that the vibrations cause other vehicles to loose their fasteners, screws, etc.

My tires picked those up multiple times. Puncture flat everytime. I got one near the sidewall and that sucker caused me grief till I swapped out my tires. The tire plugs don't seal sidewall punctures very well and tire shops won't touch it. No sidewall is immune to nails.

I never had a "tire failure", just a lot of punctures in the tread. I used Bridgestone Dueler ATs. I highly recommend them.

On my trips, I saw a guy with 35 inch BFG Mud Terrains on the side of the road. He shredded his tires. A few days later I saw a guy with 33" BFG All Terrains, shredded the tires. That's why I don't think BFGs are that great.

What people don't know is that the "third ply" on the BFG is about as thick as a balloon. I know this, because I checked out his tires...or whatever chunk of it I had in my hand.
