Same problem continued happening - I checked the internet and found that others were having the same problem with these tires, but the shop still said no way.
In the end they gave me a pair of P3Rs and in the 3 years that have passed have never had a problem with exploding tubes.
Was the tire bead blown off the rim? If not then it wasn't the tire's fault... must have been something to do with the installation, rimstrip, etc.
