Of course this has to happen right before I was planning to take off to UBB, wondering if it can wait till Monday, there is about 400 miles of highway driving one way to get there

I have 2 huge lugs missing from one of my Patagonia's... I just put that tire on as a spare and no longer rotate it in. It will get me home if I destroy another tire. But, if you had rotated 5 tires, like the manual says, you would be good to go with the other 4 until you damaged another. It happens when you play in the rocks...

Rotate all 5 on your next set. ;)

Well, I was not able to find proper tires on short notice, so 1 way so far and 2 days on Sand Hollow trails, and this GY is earning its badge. Before I left I did a test with Plastidip to see if that part of the tire aired up and down was catching dirt or pavement, and it seemed to be good, not making any contact.

However after a night run, on another tire I found a nice sidewall slit seems to be superficial, now again with one good spare, i decided to keep it light on Day 3 and did an easy run to the waterfall and back:

Still have the trip back tomorrow, have to say at 20k miles with all the trail time, the OEM GY has lived a good life, just one more ride. Time to retire them for some 37s, thinking Falken AT/4, saw a bunch of Bronco’s with RTs as well.
