Good discussion .. thanks @Ahmed Wagdy for starting the topic.. @Niki I can't understand the physics behind these ramps! the main concern for tires is deformation due to the weight of the vehicle concentrated on one side of the tire for prolonged duration without rotation which can lead to the tyre not becoming 100% circular and also can weaken the internal supporting structure of the tire due to stress on one side specially during excessive summer heat. The only practical solution is for the car to be moved back and forth to rotate the tires and distribute the load every one or two weeks.

Thanks everyone for a wonderful way to start the weekend. Being there on time helped us make an early move by 4:45am enjoying a good 25mins of driving in the dark before 🌞 started to reveal itself. We drove for good just a little less than 5 hrs and because of the early start we didn’t suffer any signs of overheating despite of the many recoveries and very sticky soft sand spots we been through.. all of which were managed extraordinary well with your great self recovery skills or on other situations support from the team with little shoveling or tugs.. no pop outs however which is impressive given this terrain which is another sign for your great maneuvering skills. It was a fun drive full of actions but zero drama and I hope you also liked the closure after little sweihan triangle. Below for statistic lovers.. you guys have done a lot there.. hope you liked it. final words of thanks to the great support team I had today with @Mario Cornejo on great 2nd lead and always supportive @Hisham Masaad and Abdelghani and perfect sweep of @Mehmet Volga . A great word of thanks however goes to the whole convoy for not only the great skills showed but also for jumping to support whenever needed while socially distancing and masks on all times.. thanks @JeromeFJ @Darren Brooke @Ranjan Das @RooRzOn @Niki @Matt.T @Rizwanm2 @Danish Mohammad and looking forward for driving with you all soon.

@Tero Vallas you are added.. c u Sat morning

Thanks for letting me know and hope to see u soon my friend

Sad to hear it @Lakshmi Narasimhan .. hope all is well
