Thank you for such a quick reply everyone. I was driving about 60mph give or take we were just about to pull up to dump station and it blew out. Glad i'm not the only one that has happened too ;) Just wish it wasn't so soon!
The bear II - I will try your method of contacting the manufacturer first before i proceed repairing this my self.
Here is a pic of the tire, sorry about the sun glare.
Why fix it yourself when your comprehensive on your insurance will take care of it and it won't count against you? Have a dealership do it and inspect your wheels for alignment, check any critical lines that may have been in the area.
Did not know that it will not count against me. Thanks for the info.
You're welcome. We had a tire separate last year and it did a lot of damage. We had the tire checked and turns out it was wear, underinflation. Our deductible for comprehensive is $250 so with $3k plus of damage it was worth it to us and our insurance rep said comp never counts against you. In addition to our insurance paying everything, they also paid a portion of the replacement of the tire closest to it on that side. I couldn't be more pleased with my insurance company on this.
