Why do I keep blowing out tires on my truck?

Possible that the RR brake Is “hanging” and causing excessive heat in the tire.

If so the pads would be gone and backing plates would be gouging the rotors.

Leave it up to 12V to only think of extremes: The calipers are either floating on the rotors or gouging the rotors, and nothing else. LOL. Typical knuckledragger.

If the caliper is not releasing the pad completely and it's always riding the rotor, it'll generate heat and wear a little more than the rest. That's possible and it hasn't been ruled out, except by 12V and Gritdog.

I think JRscooby is on to something: Right turns and rubbing curbs is also a possibility.

BTW, how much over inflated will a tire need to be to do damage? In this case, it's unknown. It's still unknown if the tire pressure gage is accurate, so it's difficult to answer. There are too many variables. The only consistant items are three blowouts on the same tire at approximately the same mileage, and gritdog and 12V thinking they know everything.

With all due respect, OP never said if he did or didn't rotate his tires. 3 sets of tires over 9-12 years and 75-90k miles (I think he said 25-30k on each set before blowout), with even marginal tire rotation practices would have made it very unlikely that the same tire was in that position it's entire life.
Although the "can't change rotation" knuckledraggers could argue that that tire should have only gone front to back on the same side and that's a very likely sequence with typical tire wear.
But at the same time, the right rear, if any, tends to wear quicker than the other tires unless you drive like a complete vegetable, which would have that tire off the RR and somewhere else in a proper rotation.

And 75-90k miles of brakes hanging up even marginally, WOULD toast those brake pads long before the third or maybe even the second tire was in play. But let's say for your sake that it was hanging up just a teensy weensy bit. Then it wouldn't have made much heat.


But to grasp at all the straws, his gauge (because I'm sure it was the same one for 10 year...lol) must have been waaaay off to blow the guts out of the tire. But he must only uses THAT gauge on THAT tire and uses other gauges on other tires so he only blew one tire to kingdom come 3 times over and not the other three......
