I had my left rear Nitto Dura Grappler blow out on the freeway a half hour away from home this August while towing my fifth wheel. Scared the heck out of me and my wife. Luckily there was a big pull off area and we were able to quickly slow and pull off safely. I couldn't tell you why it blew, but tires were all at 80psi when I got the rig ready for the trip. We got the spare put on, finished our trip out to the lake and I called the tire place to get a replacement for me. Drove to town during the week to get the new one put on. $5000 of cosmetic damage to the truck, no damage to fifth wheel.
I've had the tires four years with no problems and would get them again. We were just glad for our blowout to be close to home/civilization rather than during out 4000 road trip with the camper early in the summer to Glacier, Yellowstone, Tetons where we were in very remote places for many miles. This was my first blowout of any kind on any vehicle I've driven over the last 25 years since getting my drivers license.
