A cause for tire blowouts?

[Winged_One]

I was on the I-69 the other day, tooling along at my typical 71/72 mph. I had 2 trucks pass me pulling trailers that were obviously being delivered (DOT markings on the trucks, etc). They just eased by me, but must have been doing about 74/75 mph.

This was not the first time this has happened, but it got me wondering.

Are these 65mph tires being damaged during transport. People say their new trailer was properly aired, not overloaded, not speeding, yet they have a blowout. Were their tires damaged, a time bomb, from the day they picked it up from the dealer?

I was at a dealer in Tucson one day and I noticed that their lot was rather empty of inventory. When I asked the salesman why he told me that the rigs were going to Phoenix for the first major RV show of the year. A couple of hours later I was heading west on I-10 when several of the rigs passed me at well over the posted speed limits. At that point I realized that not all tire problems can be blamed on the manufacturer.

This is something that I also have thought of after reading about all the tire problems on peoples first outings, im sure you are correct in your assumption...
