How many do you know that have had issues with them blowing other than Bernica as noted in the other thread.

Wondering if this is just a freak occurrence or whether it happens more often and we just don't hear about it.
Evan,

For those running the tires, they have to eventually realize they were never meant for true street driving. They were produced for the track, and for use at one, maybe two events tops before they were considered junk. Rick Muck has already posted on the other thread that there are no preservatives in the mix for those tires, as such they hold a limited shelf live at best. Do I know others who have experienced such blowouts, yes, most of them while the cars were loaded in their trailers, or had sat for months at a time in their garages over the winter.

If you are contemplating a new set of tires for your car, the AVON's are the best for the street at this time.

Bill S.
