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?

       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 !
