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...

I was very surprised to see the Kevlared MTRs on the floor of the goodyear shop I went to get the Duratracs. Usually these places only carry All season tires for cars and SUVs.

Here are some pictures I took with the cell







They look a lot beefier in person...
