maybe. At least two of us on thesamba asked for manufacture dates but
I haven't seen
any posted yet.

Stuart: For sure. It may well have been an inflation issue. I found
the Continental
Tire PDF notes and image re: install (mounting) error interesting.
That blow out looks very similar, albeit a fuzzy image.

Either my posts have become something to ignore over on thesamba,
(ha ha) or people won't take time to view the pfd. Either way, folks sure seem
geared toward 'manufacture defect'.

IMO, 2 incidents certainly don't support that hence me asking here.
