Another Blowout Report

Mileage irrelevant to the discussion.
Do you keep your tires covered when not in use?
Do you check tire pressure frequently or just look em over and figure they are good to go.
Tire maintenance is important.
Slowing down to avoid debris might have been a good idea but I doubt that "spewing all sorts of bark and wood derbies" (sic) would make a good tire go bad.

BY the way how fast where you going

yes to all your questions. They are kept up to pressure and I also do a visual inspection although I don't have X-ray vision. I'm pretty anal when it comes to stuff like that. I was traveling at 60 mph and slowing. And yes a chunk of wood blew out my tire. I found it inside the tire this evening. Thanks for correcting the spell checker. The camper is also covered when not in use. In case there are doubts about that.

Thanks for the rest of the responses that didn't try busting my chops.
