Tire Blowout at 70 MPH

[Zoidz]

UPDATE: After waiting at the ATL SC for 3.5 hrs, I got my truck back with a new free 21” Pirelli. They said they considered it a defective tire. I paid $60 for the tire rotation and that’s all. Pretty pleased with Rivian.

It's great that it all worked out in your favor, and that they didn't put blame on you claiming that it was your fault because you might have been 2 psi underinflated.

Why were you driving on under-inflated tires, especially on fast roads, loaded for a multi-day trip?

It makes no sense.

Why are you continuously posting nonsense when you don't even own a Rivian?

Too bad they closed the brewery next door, would've helped boredom from a 3.5hr tire change ?

And apparently you’re wrong too

I think this entire thread is pretty typical of life.

The wife always wants to be cautious so she insisted on a spare tire.

There is always that guy who wants to do the whole "you're holding it wrong" by insisting that a couple PSI's one way or another will make a difference at speeds/forces well under maximum.

Best not to question that guy because it wouldn't be the internet without that guy.

Just like a wife needs to insist on a spare tire.

Glad it worked out. For point of reference, I was driving on 21” Pirellis cold at 48psi that got to 51-52 psi after 1 hour of highway driving in 93 degree heat. This was yesterday. The “low psi guy” needs to take a bath and shut it. IMHO

She’s commonly known as the “Voice of Reason”. I listen most of the time.
