Why is it that everytime I check my tires, I always have a new nail in a tire, or a slow leak. Pisses me off LOAD E tires, you think they would hold up a little better!!
Load E range is a value created to identify how much load the tire is designed to carry at its industry specified pressure. So load range can withstand 80psi at full load with 10 plys. It doesn't really relate to the hardness of the rubber if that's what you were thinking. A kevlar lined tire though will resist punctures better however. Usually in the past when I hve recieved numerous punctures it's someplace you regulary drive where you pick them up. I used to always take one road to work that led to the county dump, and I must have had a flat from nails, tacks, metal pieces weekly. All the garbage trucks would take the same route to the dump and inevitably material falls out and our tires would pick the stuff up. I took a different route after about 10 flats, and I solved that problem. Just a theory...
well i know it related to what you said about pressure, knew it didnt have anything to do wth rubber compound but, i take the sameee 3 ways to work all the time, and same place offroading so whatever, nothing I can do. and yeah i know, i may test out the new MTRs/w kevlar after these MTRs are donezo.
