Thanks..
I checked the tire pressure before we left, as I always do with a digital pressure gauge. They were at the recommended 85psi, I saw this coming and pulled over (on a very dangerous and potentially hazardous or deadly portion of the 177 in the desert!!) and re-checked the pressure to find it at 107! and the tire showed a rounded tread. I lowered the pressure and decided to go somewhere safer so was only going about 35 or so when this happened & was able to limp into a much safer area.
These were new tires 6 1/2 years and 20K miles ago.
Anyway as Tom says "nothing a credit card can't fix!"
Still appreciating tire advice.
