Well Joe, maybe it was that Travel Supreme I had but in eight years I had 12 blow outs. Tore up the wheel wells so bad that I can't get the darn thing sold. I even after five years got the Mor/ryde on it, it helped but still had a few blow outs. I have two coopers and two Aeolus 17.5 H tires now less then two years old. I might try another six month trip at 10K to 12K starting next spring with them but I sure don't want to ruin my new to me MS. My neighbor told me also that GY will stand behind their tires, I just have to decide whether or not to try another snow bird six month getaway from AZ with this mix of tires I have now. I have to say that this past summers trip was the first six month trip without a flat in 12 years! It was basically have a flat, go to the next town to buy another tire, repeat. Yes, the 17.5's are tough but when they go its like a shotgun going off in your ear! There is no doubt you had a flat.
