Tire Explodes

[jaybird]

Left for a 6 month retirement trip from Seattle down 101 and 3 weeks in a major tire blow out happened outside Red Bluff. Somehow I didnt lose entire right side as ive heard some have. It sat for 4yrs but i rolled tires twice. Les Schwab says tires harden when sitting. Obviously 1st stop in Napa was Les Schwab for 4 new tires. And Napa Expo campground was brutal. No wifi or cable. Trip got better when we arrived in Marina, Ca.

Jaybird, what tires did you have and what did you replace them with? Inquiring minds want to know.

You did not answer the question re what tire did you get, hopefully they understood what you needed.

SItting is bad for tires and 4 year tires are to take a long trip like that. I only know cause I did the same.

What was the failed tire's size, brand, max psi rating ply rating and manufacture date? Can you share the same info for the new tires?? This information can be a great help to other on this forum. Thank you for your post!
