[QUOTE="Westaus, post: 145933, member: 2598"] Mate I have put punctures in all my tyres, Coopers, Bridgestones, Dunlop, and now Khumo. Brand NEW set of 5 x AT980's first trip away side wall puncture right at the side join, worst possible place for a puncture. Didn't even do 2,000k's on this one. It now sits as the spare due to this one small puncture. Same trip mate went away with nearly bald tyres and drove like a mad man, not a single puncture ! Go figure. As you said, side wall issues. Did you let your tyre pressure down at all, or did you keep them at highway driving pressures. That is the only thing that may help I believe. I have also sliced a few tyres trying to go down tracks I probably shouldn't have. The razor sharp rocks should have been a good sign to turn around. When you find the right tyre let us all know :) [/QUOTE]
