For what it's worth, we had our first blow out in 5 years on our Montana on September 9th, 20 miles east of Terre Haute, IN on I-70. Shoulder parking was almost nil. A kind Indiana Trooper came up and parked back of us with his lights on so that traffic had to move over. I don't know how much they moved over because I had to replace the left rear wheel and it felt like the vehicles were brushing my shoe laces.
Anyway, the tire that blew was a new Bridgestone tire and it blew right through the tread. It did no damage to the rig. We heard it blow and I looked in the rear view mirror and saw that it had gone down. I slowed down immediately (I was traveling about 58 mph) so no damge was done.
I'm just guessing but it seems to me that it really doesn't make any difference what brand of tire you have on your rig. They'll all blow. I'm very meticulous about my tire pressures as I check them each morning before we leave where we've been parked. My tires all call for 80 psi (cold).
