In any event, Hankook tires are junk and you are better off without them... load or no load.

I had 50 miles on my brand new F-150, just off the dealer lot, factory Hankooks before they were gone.

I just want to wear them down... and then get new tires... I would've like to had one blow out on me though... would've given me a good excuse to buy a new set of shoes. Maybe the right ones this time around.

Have you ever had a tire blow on you? I am assuming not by your comments. It is not a fun experience not to mention its dangerous. At the speeds that you were driving with as much weight as you had in your truck you would have lost and control and probably killed your self as well as some poor passer by in another car. Blowouts are nothing to joke about. Go ask a truck driver what they think about blowouts and tell them what you did and see what kind of reaction you get from them.

this is the dumbest thing you've ever said imo, you must want your helmet crown back...

WHY would you want a blowout when hauling something? my car trailer shredded a tire with a cj5 on it, THAT particular incident wasn't that bad since the cj5 isnt very heavy. but a truck tire when payloading something that weighs more than some cab over campers? i guess you subconsciously dont want to reproduce and i almost thank your subconscious thought, dont need anymore morons thinking that way

Maybe ManualF150 should change his user name. To KOOK. Or if that is taken, he cold go with 'DeathWish'.

Or perhaps "If I Survive My Inevitable Blow Out and Hurt Someone Else I Will Get Sued Into Bankruptcy".

I've had a blow out on a front tire before. I was doing 65 mph on the thruway, and my Goodyear decided to shred itself. Those are the worst. Rear tire blowouts are still nothing to laugh at, but are way more controllable.

Plus with the amount of weight I had, it would've just shredded the tire and I would've been on my rim...

Besides, I did 45 mph after I felt the tire trauma... so nothing much would've happened if I did have a blow out.

I'm too smart for my own good.

If you want a blowout remind me never to drive in the same state as you.

I thought the guy that drove his new off the lot Superduty into a mudhole deserved the Darwin award but this takes the cake. All I can say is I am glad you dont live in my state.

I like to experiment. My life is nothing but tests.

So far the F150 is indeed ManualF150 proofed.

So who wants to buy my truck now if I were to be selling it?

If you haven't destroyed it by the time I need a replacement, I may be interested.
