I have noticed a pattern with my tire failures over the last few seasons, most of them happen on the hot days.
Since I have brand new tires once again, I'm hoping it will be some time before it's an issue again.
You can be sure I'll be limiting my travel on those scorching days.

Ozzie, no need to limit travel on hot days. Just drive slower. Heat kills tires. Hot pavement heats tires. Speed heats tires. Weight heats tires.
I've noticed the same thing although the last one I blew was last January in Oklahoma. Nevertheless, most have been in hot weather. Now, on really hot days, I just run 5 mph slower and make double sure to check that air pressure is at 80 psi before starting the trip when in very hot weather.
