Yep great tyre, made by Bridgestone. Not as good as a D697 or BFG AT but all price relative.

Lol, that wasn't really the tyres fault, just the wrong tyre for the application

From what I know, nothing's really compatible with Ford Explorers, they are a POS

or just buy some tyres that don't have heat issues..

kinda late for that as they are already fitted................ i decided to check them out AFTER the horse had bolted... just looking for confirmation

I have a pair of 15s on our 2 tonne van. Reasonably impressed and have towed on some blistering hot days. I recall one day the TPMS warned they were hot(can't recall temp but will look) but they hung in and this was a day when tar was melting.

Totally different animal to what was on the exploder's. They are a pretty good tyre.
