Oddly typical of BFGs that get too many years under their belt. See a LOT of their Radial T/As go this route at the Mustang shop. Good tires when they're fresh, but I won't run em on the street if they're getting old, regardless of how good the treads look.

 

I have the same tires (except 35s) on my truck..now you got me thinking

 

The stress marks on the sidewall are indicative of an underinflated tire. Underinflation causes flex which causes heat which causes KB.

 

screw the jeep... glad ya walked away

 

As long as they're not terribly old(7+ years) they'll be fine. Lol, just don't be lazy, when you get off trail and back on the road, air em back up! True of any tire, but really a good idea with BFGs after they're 4yrs old.

 

i wont run BF's again.. just don't trust them.. have read of way too many people having them come apart on them...

the one pictured below is from our 70 dart. happened on the way home from OCMD running north on the parkway.. kinda sucked.. just glad it didn't hurt the body when t came apart..

 

I brought the Jeep at the end of February and it was my first jeep I don't know how old they tires are I was saving up for a new set of tires.

 

Yeah, we had a customer that wasn't so lucky. '72 Mach1, front tire separated at highway speed. Wiped out the fender, valance, and marker lights. They driving it home from buying it.

😣

 

man that sucks..

 

Thanks guys iam getting better and iam looking at buying another Jeep cherokee xj I feel lucky to be alive, when the Jeep started to roll it went on the roof and I hit my head when I came round I undid my seatbelt and opened the door and rolled out on to the ground but the Jeep was still rolling and basically I was ejected, the Jeep bounced over me by 12 inches and didn't touch me. There were 3 witnesses to state I landed on the ground and the Jeep bounced over me. Iam really lucky to be alive but iam upset that I destroyed my Jeep

 

I'm glad you are doing better, this will tell you how to decipher where and when the tires were manufactured:

Wow I had a set of 70,000 mile discoverer coopers h/t. Got replaced when the sidewall started to crack. Good thing.
