Ok, I read your post but did not see the tire pic. You had a blowout at 70mph and you automatically blame that on Nitto??? I'm guessing you hit something in the road that blew the tire out and from there the weight of the truck on the wheel shredded the tire and it started destroying your truck.

I have Nitto's on my dually and have sold them for as long as they have been around. They are excellent tires and NO tire is exempt from debris in the road that can't be seen at 70mph.

Sorry for your tire failure but people on this forum are quick to blame the tire before other more likely reasons. Your tire closer if not at the max will perform better as far as gas mileage, tire durability and hold up better to road debris.

I sell all kinds of tires, do your own search and see Nitto gets GREAT reviews and hands down my best seller!

So, how does one drive 70 MPH, and hit something with the back tire but not the front tire with a SRW truck?

It happens. And just because the object did not impale itself on the front tire but punctured the rear does not mean the front did not hit it. I have no idea the nature of the OP's tire failure but I have picked up road debris on the rear that the front missed or just rode over.
