Sorry if my timeline was confusing to you, I see know how it could be. I owned the tires for 8 months. I started talking to Weaver about a month in, so they've had 7 months. All the rest of my post happened WITHIN those 8 months total. January 2 - August 25.


Gorilla Axle didn't manufacture the XLite version of the Silverback. I went to them early on, but they couldn't help. Yes, that was super confusing to me, too, and part of the reason I had a hard time figuring out who to contact when Weaver wasn't making any progress. STI licensed the XLite when STI was just getting started, so the XLite version is STI's problem. The tires themselves are phenomenal at finding grip, but they're not much good if they don't hold air. The one good one I have is fantastic; I really don't want to replace them with something else, but they no longer make the Xlite and I'm not ready to spend the money to put on 30's, raise the suspension, and get new wheels. I was holding out hope that another XLite my size(25X8-12) could be found.


Yes, tubes normally hold air without much problem, but there is literally so little rubber in several spots around the tire itself that grains of sand can get right in. We're not talking about sticks or branches here, but just enough sand so that it wore holes in the tube. In winter, I might have been fine, but not this time of year.

 

Really? Who you going to scare in a dodge magnum?? lol

 

Scared quite a few Mustangs and Camaros at the track, haha. It runs high 11's and has 345,000 miles. It's very good for hauling fat guys, self leveling suspension. I'd take 3 guys fatter and slower than me, and run like hell.
