We had a good sized group and she was toward the back. Coming down a trail that switch backs down a mountain she says that there is a stick through the sidewall of a tire. I run up the trail and throw the spare on. I run back to the Samurai and don't get a quarter mile before she says there is another stick through the side wall of another tire. She blew two tires within a hundred yards. I threw a bunch of patches in the sidewall and it held for the rest of the weekend. Duratracs suck! CC is Awesome! Why? Because of Comanches. Does it need any other reason? It is good to see that you're back around, Reson! Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
