Tire age
I’ve heard of 4 blowouts, 3 BFG TA’s and one unknown
1 TA blew out on the freeway, car spun out and smashed the entire side of the car On concrete barrier Full rebuild and repaint needed
2 TA blew on freeway hit guard rail with front fender, also broke fan shroud and tore up inner fender GM car.
3 TA blew on road and tore up front fender.
4 unknown on road radial blew and tore up front fender
5 old eagle st on a stored car indoors, tread came apart and tire came apart, lost air. no car damage.
When I was young parents car had recaps, rear tire blew on highway trip so it had heat in it. no big deal pulled over. Old man kept buying the junk recaps. “Good deal”
