Ok, the first thing you have to answer is did the tire really blow? When tires "blow" it is LOUD because there is a lot of pressure and energy! Most of the time a tire loses pressure and then they get so hot the scissor off of the rim and then they come apart. This is why I've seen lots of trailers driving on a rim or driving on a flat tire.
How did you find out the tire went away? I've never had a "blown" tire in 35+ years of RVing. I've had many flat tires. Some I caught in time..............some I didn't.
Did you have a TPM on your tire that blew? What did the tire look like after you got your rig stopped? Was there anything left on the rim?
My point is, it won't matter what kind of tire you put on if you had a puncture and lost air pressure and the tire came apart.
As to it blowing out, whether it was or not, I use the term loosely to describe the loud pop when it went and the explosive nature of the incident. The tread had separated away from half of the tire. Either way, I had checked the tires and pressure 30 minutes prior to it going and had been on the road for only that time.
The manufacturer has already agreed to pay for it based on their assessment of the tire failure. I seek only some consensus to more reputable brands.
