I got no bulge, but a little disappointed at the mileage - I've got *almost* 30k miles on these Yokos, and they need to be replaced. I'm thinking of going with Les Schwab next time around - anybody done that? Charles "Luke" Lukey Seattle

Oh no not that same story AGAIN ! Those Yoko are becoming famous for doing the belt break bulge ! My advice, get rid of them and never use them again. I've got the LTX's and have never had a problem with them is over 75,000 km. No off road experience though. I keep on the highways out here in Eastern Canada !
