I wonder, had you been buying "P" class tires (P175/70R13) then bought "LT" class tires (205/75R14LT)? LT's have much beefier sidewalls...

Heh. My cheesy-sidewall Hankook snow tires don't complain when I drift gravel.... Grrr.. I want money for my 205/50R15 Nexen's.....

my tires have such a soft sidwall when i drift rocky roads i think it just folds over and bends around the rocks, i run about 32 psi i have tire fold almost have way down the tire on some days, but it takes it good.

lol... I always run higher-than-recommended pressures. Typically by 2-6 PSI on cars and 5-10 on truck front tires, 2-5 on rear when loads will be seen, 5-10 otherwise.
