G614 Blowout this weekend

[Golfmedik]

Just because the tires are newer, always be vigilant. Just after coming off the interstate Friday afternoon on our way to the campground the left front tire on the rig let go loudly. I had just checked the TPMS and all tires were within 3 PSI and 5* of each other and was in a right hand curve when the BOOM happened. I was only running about 45 when it blew and was able to get slowed down quickly but had to drive another 3/4 of a mile to get it off the two lane road. There was a Georgia State Trooper behind me when it blew and he turned his lights on to warn people coming behind us that we were slow moving. When I was able to get it off the road, we talked and he said he didn't see anything fly up as in a road hazard, but anything is possible I guess. He stayed with me until my wife and son got there and I had called my partner and her husband who were waiting on us at the campground. so they all came and changed the tire as I'm still not ambulating that well from my last back injury. The TPMS immediately went off when the tire blew which drove my two Aussie/Heelers crazy. The temp of the tire was only 88* when it let go leading me to believe it was a road hazard, but no way of knowing. The date code shows it was made the 46th week of 2015. Goodyear is going to get a look at the tire, and hopefully can get it replaced this week if any one around has them. Note the size hole in the sidewall.
