its possible the blow out was my fault. but i always run 10 psi less pressure than the tire calls for. the valve stem was perfectly seated, as was the tube. who knows, but the attitude i got when i tried to do a return more than anything , after all the yrs i went there, was the straw that broke. buildup along time coming.
