Well, I had a true blow out last week. Goodyear H tires mfg. and bought in late 2012. Probably less than 30K miles. Always run at 120 psi cold. Tread still looked like 90%. Rolling down I80 just west of SLC it sounded like a 12 gauge! Looked in mirror and smoke was rolling out. Pulled over as quickly as I could. Looked back and saw part of the tread on the road where the tire blew. TST monitor didn't have time to warn, it was sudden. Bought a new set of Goodyears in SLC. Damage to the outside was fairly minor, some wrinkling of the lower skirt behind the aft wheel. It tore up the underside outside of the frame behind the tire.
