still holds air. . looks like you still have tread left. . .I'd say you have another 10K miles left on that bad boy.

I had that happen on a woodmizer saw mill I was pulling. Blew the fender clean off and slammed into the car behind me. It held up till I got to the next truck stop.

I hope you can see the sarcasm I had. . .when I was Driving my wrecker to south miss. after katrina I was towing a hummer and had one of my left rears blow on me. . .if I was running duals it wouldnt have been too bad, but these are 11.00R20 J rated super singles[:@]all the rubber flew off leaving me nothing but the metal ribbing. when I finaly got to Biloxi to fix the hummer(bad fan clutch) I was pulling rubber out of the radiator and even from behind the injector pump of that GM 6.2.

Looks like a god rain tire to me, excellent water channel to prevent hydroplaning.

I was towing a hummer and had one of my left rears blow on me.
