Marathon tire explodes

Well, I had my first blowout with my Goodyear Marathons. It was on a tire with about 15,000 miles. I heard a whoompf and then my tire monitoring system started to beep. Pulled over and the tire had started to separate and blew out the inside edge of tire. No damage at all and little damage to tire, although ruined. Decided then and there it was time for new tires and drove back to San Antonio to a Discount tire store and bought 5 new Michelin tires just like the truck tread except they were 235 instead of 265. Feel much better about continuing our trip through the south with safe tires. Spending the night in Baton Rouge La with thunderstorms and lightning, but hope to head to New Orleans tomorrow.
