WARNING...WARNING..WARNING Will Robinson........ Old Tires can and WILL blowout and cause lots of problems and cost lots of money. I know this topic has been discussed at length, but for anybody ...
Interesting statistic, I no longer have the source, the most common tire to blow out (rapid deflation) is the inner dual on the curb side. We are inclined to drive close to the right edge of the road and the curbside outer dual may be over the line onto the shoulder dropoff leaving the entire weight of the curbside rear axle on the inner dual. If the tire is impaired in any way, such as age, this is a failure waiting to happen.
