hey i saw a vid on big tires like yours and they said most of the low to med priced tires have min side wall thickness or layers to the side wall. they also said some of the more expensive tire brands have 10 or more layers or thickness to of the side wall. can you search out tires with high side wall layers ? maybe your tire are not made to military specs. also hot weather makes air expand, maybe you ran at max air pressure and the tire expanded and blew out the side wall under your sharp emergency manoeuvre.

Looking forward to it, Mmm wastewater 😂. I am in the build process with a Tatra 815 8x8 here in Finland and want to use a shower catch tank, use a switch to go into grey when I use soap. This catch tank is then filtered to be used again or for cleaning my bike, the truck, toilet a 3rd time. I am using four 24gal over wheel arch water tanks for them but going with two 100gal fresh. As I want a pathway thru the rear bed before the garage in case I need to recover/transport more bikes. The Tatra has a double cab and I have a cab over bed for two if needed

am doing similar to you. have 5 controllers... each will go to a pair of panels wired at 24v. My whole system is 24v including generator output (actually an APU). Will have 2 lead battery banks and a third reserve battery bank (lithium). - Lead Acid for start/drive operation 24v. Own alternator on engine. - Lead Acid for gruff stuff and living bank. (Fridges, tools , camper lighting, TV, computer, etc etc.. AND welder, winching etc. (Lead takes more abuse than Lithium) a second alternator hopefully, AND an APU can charge this too. ALL SOLAR goes to this bank also - Lithium "reservoir" will take charge OR send charge back to Gruff/living bank via Clarks Adventure more efficient Dc to DC bank Manager (charge/share system). (more common in Marine industry. but still very new product) Gruff / living bank can jump the Start/drive bank.
