    Hi all,

    I bought a new 2020 TRD off road in the end of February, I've put 10k miles on it since, mostly hwy but also 2-3 days a month of desert off roading, usually Death Valley or southern AZ.

    I got stuck in a wash last weekend and when digging my self out noticed that all four tires had sever chunking...not sure if that had happened that day or if just noticed it for the first time then. So far I haven't noticed any ride quality or handling changes, nothing feels off with the alignment..I was paying particular attention after finally getting back on the pavement.

    Any insight on possible causes would be great, mainly need to know if I should be hitting up goodyear about the failure for warranty, or if there is something else wrong with the truck that I need to be investigating.

    I think you're underestimating your ability to fuck up a tire and overestimating the durability of that tire...just a little.:D

    I can say that didn’t come from the “mostly highway” part
