BF Goodrich Rubbish.

<p>We purchased BF Goodrich KO 265/70/17 Tires last year in September 15. We have only driven +- 5000 km with these tires. We drive a FJ Cruiser and last weekend (4th June 16)we went to Sabie. On our way back past Sudwala Caves we accidently went onto a gravel road. We kept going for about 2km and realised the tire was damaged. A stone cut the tire. </p> <p>We have phoned numerious suppliers to purchase a new tire as that one cannot be repaired. My husband phoned the manufactures more than once and we were told that the perticular tire has been discontinued. </p> <p>Knowhere can we find one and cannot afford to replace all four as we feel the other is still perfect.</p> <p>I just want to understand how a 4 x 4 off road tire can be damaged by a little stone on a gravel road. I cannot imagine us doing a 4 x 4 course with these tires now... i have lost trust in these tires.</p> <p>To replace thes tires will cost us around R 20 000.  </p> <p>No one is interested in assisting us and keep on passing the buck. I would not advise anyone to ever buy BF Goodrich tires again as this is RUBBISH!!!!!</p> <p>Francois/Lorette</p>
