The Houston area is growing quickly, so there is construction everywhere. Plus we sometimes look at homes in new subdivisions. As you can imagine, a lot of debris, including screws and nails, makes it into the street in these areas. Before I got the "E" tires, I had several punctures between my three vehicles.I'm curious about all the flat tires. What kind of flats are you getting? Gonna jink myself but I've had Expeditions with P-metric tires since 2007, at least 200,000 miles, and never experienced a flat tire on either of them.

For the "E" tires, it was primarily the improved stability while towing and during high-speed driving that prompted the upgrade. The Hankooks I had on before were very mushy when I passed on two-lane roads and my speed exceeded 75 mph. Around turns the tires permitted excessively chassis roll. While towing the rear wiggled around excessively. Some people said it's because of the independent rear and that's why they preferred a Suburban, but I think the tires have more to do with it. The increased puncture resistance provided more piece of mind as well as improved stability. I've had one puncture and one blowout on my camper while towing, and having four fewer tires to worry about while towing makes travel less stressful.
