| Hey! Am wondering what part of the tire blew out? Normally underinflation is the culprit. And inflating the tire to spec doesn't guarantee the tire will hold the air until it is checked the next time!
Radial tires have a wires running through the sidewall from the bead to the shoulder of the tire. If even slightly underinflated, the tire's sidewall will bulge at the point where the rubber meets the road.
Now imagine what that wire strand does as it rotates along and flexes every revolution. Flexed enough it will break! In tireman's language it will "zipper" open and blow the sidewall out.
As an extra, no tires are impermeable, that is to say, they all will leak air. And some more than others so check them often and you will learn more about your tires! | |
