I am very diligent about checking the air pressure in my tires. I do not drive over the speed limit, usually around 60 mph on interstates. Fortunately my truck is a dual wheel pickup and it was one of the duals that had the sidewall blowout. I was hauling a horse trailer at the time. I heard you were investigating the steeltex R4S 16" tires. (tiresize: 16)( dot number: Tire size: 16 )
