Car Forum / Antique and Collectibles / Studebaker / August 2006Too dam hot
I'm out in the garage today, a bit over 100 degrees and hear a "boom !", look around a see this tire. Now, I have to ask, why would a near new tire explode in the summers heat since it must gets hotter at high speed. http://stude.com/hottire.jpg JP/Maryland Studebaker On the Net http://stude.com My Ebay items:http://www.stude.com/EBAY/ 64 Daytona HT 63 R2 4 speed GT Hawk 63 GT Hawk 63 Avanti R1/AC gold 63 Avanti R1/AC Silver 63 Avanti R2/4 speed 62 Lark convert/4 speed 60 Lark convert 62 Lark 2 door 60 Hawk 56 Power Hawk/4speed/289 52 Starliner 51 Commander Defective tire, high pressure or both???

Paul Johnson Actually, it could have been a mounting error. One of my new Avanti tires grew a big bubble in the sidewall. I called the mfgr and they said it could blow any time- replace it. The tire shop I took it to said whoever mounted it nicked the bead causing air to go into the sidewall. Since a friend had just remounted them for me for nothing, I didn't have the heart to go back on him. At speed you possibly would be repairing body panels. bs > I'm out in the garage today, a bit over 100 degrees and hear a "boom > !", look around a see this tire.

My buddy with the "crush yard" says it happens so often that he doesn't even flinch anymore. It has happened to me a few times on cars out in my yard over the years. One was a clunker Avanti parked close to the front fence line. When it blew, all the black drivers and loaders in the yard in front of me hit the ground...
