Non-Marathon Separation
I just had a major tire problem with a tire that is NOT a GYM. Ugly huh? I made the last three miles home on it.

Maybe you should have checked the tire pressure before the trip. And centramatics would have CERTAINLY prevented this from happening.

What was the brand of those?
Based on the pic some of the tire isn't visable any more, you know what that means!?

I think your axles are sagging. that has to be the problem.

The data set is too small to determine if this is a manufacturing defect, or if you may have damaged the tire by running over a cattle grate at high speed.
But on the basis of this sample the failure rate is 100%. Switch to a different brand.

Nitrogen
If it would have had Nitrogen in the tire it would have ran cooler thus stopping heat from severly damaging the tire....

If he had run helium, he could have inhaled what remained and talked with a squeeky voice! Fun, fun, fun. Lol

 Hi, I told you if you continued to do burn-outs, this would happen.

You don't think I can answer these, do you. Well....
1. Pressure was checked at the start of the ride.
2. Pressure monitor indicated all was OK (monitor consists of compressing tire with hand once in a while).
3. If the only thing that was sagging was my axle, I'd be very happy.
4. It's a Taiwanese tire, not Chinese.
5. When I filled the tire, I overinflated by 20%, then let 20% back out. Remaining 80% must have been all nitrogen (OK, I stole that one from somebody on the nitrogen thread).

I suggest that you take it to Jackson Center and get 16" Michelin LT tires for it.
