Hey guys! I do a lot of driving through red dirt, mesquite trees, and CACTUS! Not just any cactus though. In Texas we call it Horse Crippler Cactus and for good reason!

The thorns on these things are literally as tough as nails!

I've heard of kevlar lined tires, boggers, etc.

Most of the time if you put a lot of air in the tire it keeps it up off the side wall and your okay. However I'd like to get the toughest tire I can for the time being. Nothing like changing a flat in the middle of rattle snake country!

Here are a few rattlers killed in Tx. Not sure where.
