Can we clarify what we're talking about here? Are you guys saying the sidewall suddenly rips open because of the pressure from the tube inside the tire, with no external forces acting on it?
Not saying that's impossible, but it just seems so unlikely. Sure, you could hit a sharp piece of debris on the sidewall and have a sudden explosive decompression, but that's just a flat because you hit something. Would be curious to see photos of the failures because if it's a debris-induced gash, I can't see how one could blame a manufacturing issue for any of this.
If people are so worried about these tires, just switch to Gatorskins. Those things are absurdly tough.
