First, the only thing you can tell when a tire blows out is that it lost air. One can NOT tell from just that bit of information whether it was a road hazard or a structural failure.
Second, "tire reps" is not distinct enough to tell if the guy has any expertise or not. Very few people have the knowledge and experience to diagnose a tire failure - not sales guys, not phone consultants.
So what is your point, are you saying I don't know if it was a blow out or not. I never said the tire rep said anything about the cause of why I lost the tire. I pretty much came to my own conclusion, and I repeat its a guess. Tire stayed together, no idea how far it went without air, I don't think it was that far. I was traveling at 65 mph. I look frequently in my mirrors, but IMO it was not a sudden loss of air, but as said its just guessing. If it was a sudden blowout it was a quiet one. If it was a defect tire it took two years to raise its ugly head .
I'm getting lots of contradiction. First you say a blow out is loud and obnoxious, then you said you didn't know how long it had no air.
And if you came to your own conclusion, what was it?
Are you saying a loud obnoxious blow out has a specific cause? If so, what do you think that is?
