ZQ8 stock tire quality

[sgary]

I just had a 1/4" piece of wood puncture my tire close to the sidewall. Is this a fluke, or are the stock tires questionable quality? I've driven on old used tires for years and never had this happen. Am I just ranting because I need to buy a new tire? lol!

I don't care for the goodyear RSA's, the sidewalls seem very week, I've had a lot of problems with these tires and some dealers get as much as $350 ea for these. A better alternative is the Firestone Firehawk GT's. The looks a lot better on the Colorado, are more tough and the truck seems to handle better, plus they are about 1/2 the price.

Driven on these RSA for the past 3 years (07 Impala SS had the exact same tire, 35k+ miles) and the wear fine. But I did run over a house key and puncture one, but it was fixed.

A roofing nail just punctured my tire right where the tread stops and the sidewall begins. Man I sure hope it can be patched, a new tire will run me around $350. WOW.
