Not one but two blowouts

I've heard that if you have a blow out, drive immediately to the tire shop and replace the other tires as they are getting ready to go too. Could be automated manufacturing consistency causing a flaw to be continually and identically duplicated. I've had light bulbs on the same line burn out within 30 seconds from each other.

You might consider replacing the spare too. Glad you didn't have too much damage.

some people just have more money than they know what to do with. if you have a blow out and your tires are all 8 years old ya its time to look at chaning them out, but at 3 years old, even 5 years if they look like there in good shape why throw the money away.

Because tires are a hell of a lot cheaper than fixing RVs, cars/trucks, or most importantly people. The one time I had a blowout in a car I had bought a few months before the first stop was the tire shop. They told me Goodyear would prorate them since they were only 2 years old if I took them to the Goodyear shop on Monday (this was Saturday morning). I didn't care, I just wanted reliable tires on my car right then since I had almost ended up in a ditch at 50mph with my kids in the car. Btw, the fact that my favorite tire shop would send me to a competitor because it might save me a few bucks is why they get all my business, family run place that's as honest as the day is long, such a polar opposite from the one time I tried to have a simple brake job done at a chain yellow muffler place where my car basically got held hostage and I ended up paying nearly 2x what it should have cost.
