Angry YeAh, exploding tire!!!

curious what could be a few reasons for a tire exploding on the inside, driving home last night from work my right rear tire goes KABOOM, I check i to see if i could get to a gas station, which when you need one there won't be one...anyway the inside wall of the tire has a hole in it...Nitto seems to suck for me...had to replace two tires with broken bands, a dry rotted tire and now this. Th car seems to be in alignment fairly well...but i can't even find a NTB store anywhere near me to get my car aligned for free...I have a free three year warrenty, oh the tire has less than 300 miles on it. Curious if i have some kinda case where town fair tire could help me recoup some of my losses...i mean don't some tires have some type of warrenty, and i think the tire is too new to explode...and i always keep 33-36psi in the tires. I am looking for a rebuttle (sp) when they want to blame me for the tire.

umm duno man. but it could be just luck on this one, that you hit something on the road that slide an opening. and since you are on the freeway and after a while the inside blow out (since i guess you lowered the car, the negative camber put the inside of the tire with more pressure)

That really sucks. I would take the tire to where you bought them and show them the damage. I doubt anything will come of it but maybe they will give you a discount on a new tire. Then you should switch to Toyo T1s
