First trip out got into a pixxxxx match with a semi. After 1/2hour of 95 mph a tire blew taking off the plastic fender and the steel cords did a number on the rear bumper and engine cover. When we got home my son revamped the toad putting on 16" Michelin tires to match the tires on the trailer, built 5/16" thick STEEL fenders had them powder coated :-) and put a cutting edge on the bottom of the fender to try to cut the steel belts. This was 2 years ago and about 20,000 miles ago with no further problems.
