Blocks. Adrian cut so the end grain meets the frame . When I tried stacking them cross grain they split.
Chappell. The tires were two years old. I am no tire engineer, but it didn't explode, it looked to have deflated, lost the bead on the rim and wallowed around. The tire was still intact. It did have a quite a crack completely around both sides just where the tread meets the sidewall. I have no way of knowing if that was caused by extended running at a lower pressure or the crack caused the deflation. Any comments on the tire are SPECULATION on my part. I heard a muffled pop and at the same time developed a whoop whoop oscillation in the rear. I don't know if the pop was the tire or the airbag. I had been running for 200 miles in temps below 20 degrees. I do not have a tire monitoring system on my rear tires.
