I don't care how old that tire is I'd be taking that tire AND your pictures of it covered when it happened back to where you bought it and have them find out WHY that happened.

I know I'd sure want to know how a tire can blow like that sitting.

Boy that's the weirdest thing I've every seen.

At least it didn't leave you stranded.

date code says 0711 but closer look says rot...a few cracks away from blow area.

i havent had to change a tire on one of my own vehicals in probably 15 years..i never think about it.

had the rv almost 2 years and only glanced at it when i took the metal ring cover off when purchaed...i know better now. that tire wasnt even rated to be put on the rv when new...

I've not seen it, but I heave heard of it... As bizarre as it seems.

Bizarre. I've never seen anything like that.
Give us an update if you figure out what caused it.

That's one for the books. Never seen this. Glad you were parked. Might check your tire guage.

if id had the original metal ring cover on there i would have never figured this out untill i needed it lol.

i have a heavy duty air pump so i usually keep my spares 40 lbs or so.
admittedly i havent checked that in 6 months or so..one of my faillings.

either old and rotted or subjected to stress.

any chance a stray bullet?

BTW my spare is at 80 PSI, which is what I run in the rears, front is 65 PSI

Haven't had that happen, but when an Andersen leveler breaks that's pretty scary too!
