Dang.....that's a new tire? What is the date code?
He's having your kinda luck with that one... I am definitely mounting a good spare on a road wheel after seeing yours last year.
I keep telling the FCBO'ers about the danger of old tires and spares on a C-Body or any car or truck. Having a total tire failure at highway speed is terrifying. Luckily I kept her under control and didn't destroy the skirt. I should of taken a picture of that tire (just the bead was left). Well,,,you saw what was left.
BTW, that happened on Northbound I-83 with 4 lanes of blistering traffic. I was lucky to keep it under control, slowed down, and moved to the right lane with just literally 3 tires. Found a P275/75-15 on my phone at a Mr Tire 15 miles away. Saved the day (and the Carlisle trip) and made to Carlisle late Friday afternoon.

Let's hope the other 3 aren't going to do the same thing. I see the club (Northern Mopars) president (Blue GTX) passed you along with the parts manager from Tower (white Runner). The weather was much better than Friday afternoon, though.
We were just talking about tires for @CanCritter 's Fury and I ordered the BFG's for him rather than the Coopers which were $40 cheaper a tire....glad he went with the BFG's now..
I had the same problems also with bfg tires before Graham, is all the same **** in my eyesWe were just talking about tires for @CanCritter 's Fury and I ordered the BFG's for him rather than the Coopers which were $40 cheaper a tire....glad he went with the BFG's now..
Very true ..I have seen similar problems on high end tires like Pirelli's the crappy part is the tire manufacturers basically have no defect warranty anymore. We have to send defects back to the manufacturer and wait 8-10 months for reimbursement...I miss the old days of Sears Road Handler warranty....no problem sir here is your new tire no charge......maybe that's why they are closing down now lol that and Made in China craftsman tools...

Looks like you had a nice run up the 22.
Ya was a perfect day yesterday Pete, and Hwy 22 is always nice to cruise.
The Imperial runs better and better every day.
