Craig,
In my opinion they blew out from slackness on my behalf!
Seriously, we use the Coaster for work going to trade shows etc, we tow a trailer as well as loading up the Coaster. Whilst I used to give a glance over the tyres when refuelling etc I think one just got a puncture and slowly went down ( maybe a vibration i felt but didn't act on it sooner ), the other then took the brunt of the weight on its own, very hot coming back from Sydney so nothing in favour of the poor old tyre. Tyres would have been the oldest of the set I suppose but my fault entirely for not being more observant. Pressures were supposed to be checked before I went and mate with tyre shop sent his assistant to crawled around under and check pressures, he seemed none to pleased so maybe did not pay too much attention.
I still pump them up at home with my small compressor and check with the old school cylinder tyre gauge, then reinstall the Tyre Dogs and check what pressure they read, very close if not more exact that my gauge.
Regards
Rob

can you tell me what you think the two tyres that blew out failed from?. Were they overloaded, under inflated, over inflated or how old were they? The last 2 failures I had, failed on a 40 plus degree day and they were about 10 years old. So yes they were probably getting hot but I believe it was more of an age thing that caused the problem.
