Another right-rear blew-out on MXL's?  I heard many said it was always
right-rear.  All 3 of mine blew at right-rear.  Not to mention that my
Syncro suffered the same damage and even the mud guard were gone.  The only
good thing out of these incidents was Michelin gave me a new set of MXT's
free after my 3rd blew-out because of the body damage.  Another reason to
get a set of Michelin MXT's other than a free Michelin Roadside Assistance
Kit :-)
