people who blow tires from stretching usually ALWAYS have an inflation problem.

sideway heats up past op temp, wears out the chords on the inside of the sidewall and then catastrophic failure like seen above. Glad the car and you brother are alright.

Inflation is key and underinflated tires will fail in the manner shown. When was the last time you checked the tires air pressure? I check mine and the wife's weekly because of how many tires I've see fail b/c of under inflation.
