. . . So much for brand new Chinese will-pop tires. They should be outlawed.

What really caused the blow out (or tread separation) cannot be determined by the information given without seeing the tire.

We had a "blow out" which turned out to be a tread separation caused by tires that were way too old to be driving on - did about the same damage to our rig which was all completely covered by the comprehensive plan on our insurance. Even damage to the tire in proximaty was paid for, but not the offending tire. What did we learn? To inspect the tires annually, yes alignment affects their wear and account for that, and stay within ST tire speed limits.

Your post reminded me of the time my pickup's rear tire blew and took out the fuel filler pipe. My insurance company insisted that my tire collided with my truck, therefore the higher collision deductible applied (not comp). :R As one may guess, I changed insurance companies soon afterward.

OP, this was a great assist, helping the lady like that. We need more people like you out on the road!
