Why do I keep blowing out tires on my truck?
The last three sets of tires on my 2007 Ram 2500 have had one tire blow out. Always the same, passenger side rear. Have not weighed my trailer but specs are 7,000 dry, GVWR 10,500, pin weight 1,500....

I have ran Michelin’s for at least one million miles with one flat and no cracks.
My comment was semi tongue in cheek! But all BS aside, I haven’t experienced the stellar life span personally that you have.
I’m sure we’ve had 100s of trucks on Michelin’s without issue at work. But I don’t track job truck tire life. They’re more prone to buying the farm early due to damage, lack of rotation or overloading.
Personally have had 2 sets of Michelin’s I can recall. 1 was a new takeoff set off of a 2000era Ram 2500 that I put on my half ton. So no overloading possible. Tires were cracking at less than 3 years from their born on date.
Other was a set of super high performance car tires. Tires were 2 years old 2010 vintage and over half tread on a car that was a garage queen under the prev owner. They too were dry rotting a year later.
No failures with either vehicle, but neither of these examples sat out and baked in the sun but they were dry as a popcorn fart and cracking.
