Just had a tire blow apart, the tire was purchase new in 2006 and it was the spare tire for a truck. It was never used, it had full tread, it was on the truck for around 500 miles when I got a flat, the spare blew apart without warning at 60 mph, the tread let go whipping up and breaking my passenger mirror.

This was a China made tire. I'm really surprised the tire manufacturers are being allowed to make tires like this. Wasn't there major problems with Firestone and Ford years ago with the Explorer.

Time to start making these tires again in the USA with better materials that don't go bad in 5-10 years.
