Harry,

I wish I could say no, that I never have problems, but over the years I have felt the little waviness in the outside edge of the tire that says it needs an alignment. I have felt nails and screws in the tires, and The reason I just replaced the tags is I felt a slight bulge in the sidewall going from just above the tread to the bead. It was not present on any other tire so rather than screw up the trip to FL I replaced the tires. I am sure it was related to a nail penetration a year ago just above the tread.

We have had two tire issues on the road in our years of ownership. I have not been able to get Michelins in our size (both were the 12R22.5) and the result is you put the odd size tire on the tags no matter which tire was originally damaged. Anything I can do to avoid the inconvenience of tire problems on the road is worth the effort.
