We were informed that our toyo open country H/T 111S OWL 265/70R16 were dry rotted. We purchased these tires approx 2 years ago and the vehicle was stored in closed garage virtually every night. Only 30,000 miles were put on the tires from point of purchase to point of observation by tire store which means dry rotting happened at some point prior to 30K miles. It was recommended to us that this could be a potentially dangerous situation for me and my family so we elected to purchase new tires immediately.

While traveling on a highway at approximately 70 mph there was a loud pop sound from the front right of the vehicle that sounded like a rock hitting the inside of the fender. We continued to travel another mile or so, not realizing that our tire had just "popped". the tire proceeded to go flat.
