Had a blowout last night - what do you guys make of this tire?
Something faulty with the tire, or is this just the way they disintergrate? I had to cross 6 lanes of traffic to get to a safe place to stop on the shoulder. It's a Toyo R888 (225/50 15), bought brand new in April 2011.





The worst part is the damage the quarter panel took:
