Tore up this tire today! Retread?

[dietz4ibanez]

This tire blew up like a atomic bomb tonight on the highway. Left me stranded for about an hour-hour and a half. I think that the cars around me thought they were going to die and I felt it in my chest and tomorrow my wallet!!! You would have thought Earnhardt came back and spun out DW and took out 3-4 cars with blue smoke and rubber flying everywhere..

There has got to be a warranty on this tire. At least prorated as I think I had it put on this trailer new in april/may.

I have had a ton of trailer tire flats over the years but nothing like this...

Some more pictures on the side of the road.

Best jack a guy could have... All 10k+lbs of it! ha

I would think you would have no problem with getting it pro rated, unless it's not rated for what you're using it for. Sucks that you've had downtime today and tomorrow because of it

Tonight was a effort to get a jump start on tomorrow... Dropped the Bobcat out on the job... I have to pick up a load of soil and the tire place is right by there. I will have a light load tomorrow morning. I want to get another spare before another tire blows.

The spare tire I had needs a new valve stem because it was flat... (New tire)

I want my 2 hours of that time back. Oh well.

Fortunately no one was hurt from the tire debris.

That sucks Brian. With all this rain, I can't get the yards cut and the grass is getting thick. I bet it is putting some strain on your lawn cutting jobs as well.

Damn, what carnage.
That really sucks Brian. Hope you don't get to much hassle negotiating for another tire.

No warranty on trailer tires! They said the blowout was due to heat. I think my brother over loaded the trailer picking up a barn. He mentioned something about that tire squealing and smoking.

Oh well!

Carlile tires? Yeah, I have lost a few of them. They never warranty the damn things
