I ran out of storage space in cali, and a friend who bought a house in arizona is letting me keep a truck and a car there.
Are tires complete garbage compared to the quality they used to be? The car, stored outside, in a carport with a tarp over it had two tires completely explode. Not just go flat ,literally disassemble themselves. These were not particularly old tires, they were being used daily six months ago. They were on the ground, holding the car up.
The truck is in the garage, on rollers that enable sideways movement, and i just noticed one of them blew too! Admittedly these ARE old tires but they held the truck up in the driveway in cali for probably ten years without going flat.
Is this strictly due to heat? I would think they would get a lot hotter on 150° pavement during use, than just sitting in a warm garage. Ther have been a long run of 110°+ days(weeks?) here.
I also,had a front skinny blow up on me in my garage in cali that wasn't even on the ground!
Are they just making garbage tires now?
