Cal (and Stacey, I hope you'll chime in)
1. In doing the internal inspection, can we expect Walmart tire guys (who i find to be good, though not the best) to know for what to look and be able to spot the prospective failure of the other tire ? Or is it going to be a 'send it to the engineering department of the manufacturer'? Which isn't likely to happen.
2.Is there something specific for which they look, or just anything out of the ordinary ? I'd like the tire mechanic to bring me the tire for a 2nd opinion, but I don't know for what to look.
3. Finally, as I read this part of the link, exposure to failure of the other tire is resultant of catastrophic (blowout) of the first tire - not just a slow flat. It that correct?
Having been through a blow-out, and seen how quickly the body damages reached $3K, I'm thinking it might be foolish economy to do other than replace all tires on one side. But that's dependent on how positive could be the conclusion of the internal inspection.
