Well that was for the Carlisle. I ended up with Marathons for $590.00

Thanks for the update on your adventure, and I hope that the rest of the journey is worry/trouble free! One thing for certain - you will be able to provide an honest to goodness rating/review of tires. Stay safe

Actually, I thought it was the ST tires with stiffer side walls...

Better choice I think. What happened with your pin shearing?

I Went to a Campbell's in SD and met Roy an awesome employee there. I showed him the good pin and we walked around the store and found a pin that was Tha same thickness. We went to their auto repair shop and cut it down to size and notched it like the factory one. In MacGyver fashion we fabricated a pin that is probably better than factory. Now I'm waiting for blue ox to ship me an original.

Little update. We are now in Yellowstone. We stayed in Custer, SD at the Flintstones RV park. Not bad for $40.00 a night. The place is outdated and the laundry facility was in bad shape. But we were only there to sleep. It was quiet, we had water, electric and sewer. Not to mention everyone else was booked.
We went to Custer Park and while driving the Wildlife Loop we encountered Buffalo. And a Buffalo struck the back end of my truck putting a huge dent in it. I will post the video soon. Don't feel bad we thought it was awesome. Who else has a story like this.
We are now at the KOA Mountainside near the west entrance to Yellowstone. I will let you know how it goes from here.
