I've had the same thing happen on a General tire before.
The tread separates from the carcass of the tire due to poor lamination. It is a manufacturing defect, rare, but it can happen.
I drove 60 miles on mine, as my spare had already been used that trip. This was back in the late 90s on a 2500 Dodge. I was running 90+ when it happened, and nearly lost control.
As stated above, make sure they check the batch numbers, and press hard to get all of them replaced, not just the bad one.
Good luck

How old are the tires? I have seen something similar due to age of the tires. They were Goodyear’s.

May of this year they are 2 years old. I have a commuter car I drive every day that’s why the low mileage.

Really want to know what discount or cooper says that’s so weird.

Post up what they say, they’re at risk of losing a lot of future sales over that guy and their answers. Hope they shed some light on it.

Looks like standard blow out remains. Wonder what caused it.

I hope it is. The fact it happened, and the way it happened, makes me personally lose faith in their safety, and depending on the answers he gets from them will effect my next tire purchase, I’m sure I’m not alone.

Although I didn’t have anything like this happen with my Coops I am glad I shit canned them for Mud Grapplers.

I would agree with you but it didn’t go flat right away. No idea what caused it just sharing my experience with them.
