Recently I bought a (just one) 35x12.50 SSR to replace one that had a bad sidewall cut. After only a few wheeling trips I noticed that huge tears were starting to form in front to the outside lugs on the tire. These tears are not the result of rock cuts, they're the result of the rubber pulling apart and failing. I have not had this sort of damage happen to the other three SSR's which have a bunch of trips on them. SO, why would a brand new SWAMPER have this sort of problem? Has anyone else had this sort of thing happen to them? If so, did you try to get your money back or get a replacement for the faulty tire?

Honestly, even an SSR should be able to take more than 3 moderate wheeling trips.

Thanks.

Ya sillyneck had that happen to his and he got them reoplaced at 4wpw they said it was a bad batch. they gave him a prorated price for them since he had used them for a trip and around town driving. You should get it replaced for free or extremely discounted.

Mine have held up fine to spool abuse, probably a bad batch, like Silly got.
