Steve,
Your tire looks very similar to the one I had in the very same location. Totally shredded, and I didn't know it until a motorhome behind me started flashing its lights. The people said they saw things start to fly apart and slowed down to avoid anything that might hit them. That's what made me think it was a blowout, but it possibly could have been a simple flat that was run too long. Turned out I lost the fender and pieces of the lower roll panel, and the spring holding all the electrical connections (now replaced by a clever plastic device that moves in and out with the slide) wrapped itself around the axle. Interesting... Are our Montanas too stable for their own good?
