    I am telling you they Bridgestone was on it. So much so they came to my house and looked at the other steer since it was close in serial number to the shredded one. They had a fancy hand held device that can see the belts inside the tire. They gave me a $5000.00 tire card. I didn't even ask for anything beyond them paying for the road call. They knew this could have ended real bad. In fact about 20 seconds before it happened a motorcycle went past me. A chunk of that tire could have killed them.

    Looks like you got 10 free shoes for your tractor whenever you need them.
