I know that driving one a short ways on the wrong direction won't hurt it so
really it's not that big of a concern I guess.
The Yokos also have someother nice featureds but the TOYO has great

Re: new tires !!
The tires on mine tend to throw a lot of rocks, I can go for miles down the
paved road and have it still doing a tap dance before it will let loose a
rock.
That's how I got the dent inside my fender.
