Interesting, Benny.

Back in May, a good friend of mine had a tire come apart like that on the way up camping. It was an older tire that a friend had given, actually he had the set of 4 + a spare. When he got home, the damage was totalled at around $1300 to his Chevy truck.

The tire did not go flat and he actually was able to drive to a stop once he regained control of the truck. Makes me want to check the age of my tires. I bought them about 3 years ago.

Great info Benny thanks! (now I need to go check all of my vehicles)

I have maybe about 1000-3000 miles left on my tire treads and will have to purchase some new ones real soon. The techs at Firestone told me they were going to pro rate my next set since I did not get the full 50,000 miles out of the set I'm driving on. The tire were really good to me with no flats, leaks or punctures, "knocking on wood"... Other than not quite making it to the stated mileage they were great.

This info was really great as to my new purchase I'll be making real soon 8-)

Thanks Benny. I'll have to crawl under the cars and see what I've got on them. It's quite scary to think that we might be driving on tires that might come apart. It's interesting that the guy that said there was no real data to back up Brits warning, never asked them how they came up with their conclusion. If you look at his facial expressions, he twitched a bit at the end of his sentence during then interview like he was nervous. Like he wasn't being totally truthful. That's how I interpreted his body language anyway.
