I bought some KO2's on this a year ago....50 miles into it...bolt completely through right on the outside crown/sidewall. They would not cover it under the road hazard because you give up everything for that price. Not one "name brand" tire shop would fix it, and only wanted to sell me a new tire. Luckily I found a small tire shop who would patch it...still holding...and will buy my next set of tires from them even though they are about 25 a tire more!!

just putting it out there.
I got a set of duratracs last year from them and it was a great deal and transaction. ran over a 2" tack that went through the tread, got it patched by the shop that mounted my tires for $16, no leaks after.
Im not sure any place will repair a side wall puncture.
but i also thought you could purchase road hazard, I'm pretty positive mine had the option, or some of the auctions include it if its important to you

Real old fashioned tire shops who are not out to f'n gouge you with their up sell and other crap who really know tires will!! They used to be in every town....now corporate America has ran almost all of them out of business. I found one by actually getting a phone book out and calling around. I had to drive a ways...but still cheaper than a new tire.
Over then phone they said..... well lets look at it....we might be able to fix it but have to see it. They look at it and say we can fix it...but it might leak after driving it...we are willing to give it a try if you are. They slap a huge truck tire patch on it....$16/2k later...still going strong.

Rather go to the small "mom & pop" tire shop. They can get any tire you want, mount, balance, install and disposal for great prices. They don't gouge you on the stems, weights...all included. They get to know you. You build a rapport with them and like reelamin said they can patch a tire others won't touch.

Yep, need to decide whether I'm gonna stick with the duratracs a bit longer and potentially get a new rear bumper or buy tires.

I have nothing against Mom & Pop shops, at all! But when you get 4 tires for $150-$200 cheaper than the local tire shop; you bring it to your local mechanic who you already have a relationship with & he'll mount & balance for you & no charge for stems & weights.
Putting a patch on a side wall is just a bad idea, especially if you take it off road & air down. You're also at risk for an annoying constant slow leak or worst case a blow out on the highway.
Discount Tire sells the "Road Hazard" for a few dollars more but I never pay for it.

Great... I've been waiting for this to happen again. And now that it's here, my finger will be hovering over the buy it now option as I agonize about pulling the trigger on a new set. Debating on going up to 285s, or to keep life simple with 265/75/16s.
Ugh... I will thinking about this for the foreseeable future. LOL.
Now I am imagining a new Savage swing out bumper on my rig.... hahaha.

My local discount tire matched ebay deal. Bought level 8 mk 6 with 0 offset. Still mulling over whether I should go ahead and buy 285/75/r26 BFG KO2 or wait for a few more years as my 265/70/R16 Nitto terra grapplers AT only have 15k on them and I have replacement certificates for them through discount tire. Selling them on craigslist will not fetch me even $200.
And, I am not 100% sure if I should get 285/75 or 265/75. I don't see myself regearing, so maybe I need to stick with 265/75. But 33's look so nice.
