Called DTD…they’re out of stock. ☹ However, I can have a local shop look at the tire and call DTD, and if its worn under a certain amount I’ll have the $ refunded to me for it. So hopefully I can find a shop that has one in stock for me. ---

This has got me thinking about a TPMS…I know the OEM ones are annoying and a pain, but this aftermarket one seems kind of cool. Fully customizable warnings for tire pressures and temperatures. The temperature part sounds pretty great, especially for track days where you can keep track of overheated tires. Opinions? Jewish Holiday?

The tow driver explained to me what happens with blow outs like that, so I’m going with that as the likely story. Something punctured/knicked the sidewall and caused a slow leak. Later, you hit a bump and the air pressure in the tire shoots up and causes the hole to expand violently, ripping it open.
