lost 1 bighorn due to stake on the strez [3inch cut in sidewall ] , lost another bighorn going into Lorrella springs ,,, same deal ,an unrepairable cut right on the shoulder where the tread "block " meets the sidew all ,,,,, the other 2 bighorn maxxis are now ready for the dump ,,,,,make of it what you will but in my book 21,000 klm is NOT good value out of a $200+ tire...
