Yes, Ellie (our rig) will be two in June. She has 7686 miles on her tires (Trooper the truck keeps track.)
No idea why it blew. We didn't see any puncture but then the hole was massive and I think it blew from the inside out. We drive 55 mph always. We check air pressure and torque as is on the sticker.
It was hot yesterday, mid to high 80s. Fairly cloudy, but the tires did feel hot. I felt them about 40 minutes earlier but I hadn't done that often enough in the past to have much to compare it to.
We also hadn't gotten around to getting TPMS yet. We usually drive five hours or less a day but yesterday decided to go farther as we're eager to get home. We left at 9 am, made two 30 min or less stops and the tire blew at 4 pm on the dot.
These were the original Towmax tires from the factory. 16". I don't believe we're heavily loaded but we haven't weighed her.
We got a new spare for these last six hours, similar make. Want to switch to Gs when we get home.
