So...been dealing with tires and tire posts for many years and have a plethora of experience with them. However I have a new challenge. Dealers seldom carry my tire in stock and they must be order...

No written, just a lengthy conversation with a Sailun rep. sure its a guess .But when a tire blows ,there is no mistake what happened , its loud ,and obvious. ……
First, the only thing you can tell when a tire blows out is that it lost air. One can NOT tell from just that bit of information whether it was a road hazard or a structural failure.
Second, "tire reps" is not distinct enough to tell if the guy has any expertise or not. Very few people have the knowledge and experience to diagnose a tire failure - not sales guys, not phone consultants.
So what is your point, are you saying I don't know if it was a blow out or not. I never said the tire rep said anything about the cause of why I lost the tire. I pretty much came to my own conclusion, and I repeat its a guess. Tire stayed together, no idea how far it went without air, I don't think it was that far. I was traveling at 65 mph. I look frequently in my mirrors, but IMO it was not a sudden loss of air, but as said its just guessing. If it was a sudden blowout it was a quiet one. If it was a defect tire it took two years to raise its ugly head .
