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. Neil. On 6/24/15, PB <pbrattan@gmail.com> wrote: > I just got a set of RA08's about 2 months ago.
