Just a thought. Do you have a current weight slip from certified scales? It's the only thing that will support your claim if they say you were overloaded.
Conditions such as overloading and under inflation are failure causes easily detected during in-depth tire forensic exams.
A tell tail hint...."Fatigue failures are most typically caused by the over-deflection of the tire as a result of under-inflation and/or overloading. Over-deflection will produce evidence on the tire such as darkening of the inside wall of the tire, wrinkling of the inside wall of the tire, and heavy abrasions on both the inside and the outside wall of the tire."
