Thanks Carol, I will be checking the tires on all my vehicles!

tuesday night i had a drive tire blow out on my truck. the right rear inner tire picked up a nail and put the load onto the outside tire. that tire blew out 50 miles north of tn. in ky. i bought a recap tire there and by the time i got to atlanta chunk of tread were missing. so i only got maybe 200 mile out of that tire. and that was a bridgestone casing with a goodyear brand cap. i had another recap tire that i picked up in barstow ca. that one got me back to missouri were it came apart, tore out my lights, wires, and mudflap. i didn't even know it until anther driver told me on the cb. when the drive tire came apart a big chunk of the tread came up and hit the back of the sleeper. we call those long strips of tread, alligator skins.
