Lookup " TYRON BAND - TIRE BLOWOUT " on YouTube - That video was from 6 years ago. The RV was passing a trucker whose dash cam captured this video when the RV's front left tire blew out.
Something to think about -- The time from blowout until it was on it's side across the median in opposing traffic was only 6 seconds . . . . .
These commercial truck tires are very different than car tires - running a 14 ply tire underinflated creates lots more heat which can lead to internal damage. They also age differently when they spend more time parked than in regular service. Then there is how much UV light they are exposed to . . .
