tires again!

I think we can sometimes be too quick to claim defective tires rather than dig deeper to examine the other factors that might be the cause of a blowout or premature wear, some of the things mentioned in ReneeG’s post. When the same rig experiences multiple blowout events it’s an indication that the cause of the blowouts is more likely something particular to the rig (alignment, balance, weight distribution, rims, driving habits, etc.) versus a series of defective tires.
