That tire has been discontinued for a long time. It is possible the failures are age related. Check the date code of any replacement you find. If it is more than 5-7 years old, don't bother. If the tire is 4 years or younger you may be able too get a warranty adjustment.

Vanoeers,

This weekend for the second time in two months a left rear tire on my syncro bubbled totally. This time I caught it with the steel belt sticking out from between the treads on the side. Last time it blew before I figured out something was wrong.

The tire Bridgestone Dueler AT 8.5X27 is NLA. I got Tire Rack's last one the first time it happened. Anyone in Northern Cal got one for sale? {BenT is checking his stores but that can take a lot of time. He's got more stuff than you can believe}

Mike
