Well, another Yokohama 370 blew apart last night.  The tread all came right off, and then, of
course, the tire blew.  If you aren't familiar with the 370, it is essentially the same tire as
the 356 but with a bit more agressive tread pattern.  8 ply.  This is the third failure out of
4, with about 10,000 miles on the tires.  Not too good.  The first one blew out at about 7,000
miles, and at that time, the other rear was found to have a big bubble in it.  Yokohama
replaced both.  Now another blowout, also on the right rear.  I may want to switch brands.
