    So full story here. Full pre-trip at the start of the day, didn't notice anything. Have checked pressures within the last week and they were good. Towed a tractor to salt lake without any issues. Made it about 50 miles out of salt lake heading back home and the traction control light flashed a couple times, thought that was weird on dry roads with the cruise set at 70. 5 miles later drivers side tire explodes. Got towed to evanston and they didn't have a matching goodyear to put on so I just had them put the cheapest ($800 installed :eek:) tire they had on it to make it home knowing I was going to end up peeling it off and keep it just as a spare. Checked the other 9 tires again just to be sure. So continue on my way, made it to rawlins and the traction control light started flashing again and cutting my throttle. Hit the switch to turn it off and kept cruisin. Made it about 10 miles west of Laramie and the other "old" steer on the passenger side did the exact same thing. Got towed back to our yard.

    Monday it's getting two new steers and an alignment. Don't see anything wrong with it, it wasn't pulling weird, no shakings, nothing out of the ordinary except two fairly new tires deciding they wanted to end their life at the same time.

    We have completed the pre trip inspection, and accessed the second bag of honey ham.
