I realise that it is in the realms of speculation but having read the 4WD Action article I'm left wondering:
Would Mike Edwards have been ok if he had been driving something other than a Land Rover when the tyre blew out on his way home from Corowa?
I also understand that the type/make of tyre involved had a bad reputation with the Australian Army.

Any comments welcome as I think this topic needs more of an airing. If there are problems with these vehicles and or tyres they are best brought into the light of day before some other unfortunate soul pays the price.

As an aside, I hastened to put my new tyres on the front of my Dodge 6x6 as a result of watching a couple of videos on You Tube showing horrific accidents as a result of tyre failure. That was not long before Mike's accident and we had discussed tyres and tyre failures in his tent at Corowa.

If the discussion takes off it can be moved to a more appropriate location.
