So no one has ever had a blowout on a 19.5" tire? Good to know, that's what I have. You can have a blowout on a 2 minute old tire, it happens. As soon as someone has a blowout on a 7 year old tire they start replacing them at 6 years. If they have a blowout at 6 years then they replace them at 5 years. Pretty soon they're driving from one dealer to the next replacing tires.
I'm not saying age isn't a factor but there's a lot of factors that can lead to a blowout. One pothole might not take out your tire when you hit it, but maybe the next day or month or even year. Just too many factors you can't control and don't even know are factors.
