Tire blowout reporting
Inspired by Badeye's "vehicle breakdown" thread, I thought it would be informative if we could get anyone who has experienced a blowout to report it here. I'm curious if we could get enough reports to see a trend in factors like age, load vs. tire capacity, inflation, etc. Here's kind of what I'm thinking for a format, you can copy and paste it into your post to keep it all uniform, the more information the better, but keep it accurate if you can. Don't guess if you don't know, just leave it blank.
Vehicle size and weight:
Tire brand and model:
Tire age (date code), time on vehicle, miles:
Tire size, load range, rated capacity:
Tire pressure before blowout:
Max tire pressure on sidewall:
TPMS installed (yes or no):
Any warning from TPMS before failure:
Tire location on vehicle:
Ambient air temperature (approx):
Damaged caused by tire failure:
Other relevant information:
How does that sound? Let me know if you think we should alter any of it. I'll try to keep some type of list of any significant trends in this first post.
