I guess I dont understand what people are doing to their MTR's to rip them open so easily. me and alot of people I know have been running the old style MTR's for years and have never had a sidewall failure, and the rocks in the Black Hills of SD are very sharp granite that moves around alot.
I dont know man, I wheel the hammers and the rubicon for the most part, I dont take the stupid lines, but it happens. Maybe its just the luck of the draw.
