Do what He says. Years ago bought a set of Goodyear tires thread separated on one after a few hundred miles. They replaced it under warranty. Few hundred miles later same thing different tire. Now I'm getting a little nervous about the rest. Went back in with that tire they were willing to replace it. Told them, This was the second of four I'm afraid this is going to happen again, not a chance I was told. Sure enough it did. This time when I took it back They they replaced all four tires with a different brand. Moral is keep a close eye on those tires.

I went out to look at them this morning, and didn't notice anything. I was mostly checking to see if they had the same DOT number (which they did). I'm gonna take a look a little closer this afternoon to see if I see any bulges. Discount tire isn't open today, so I'm gonna go tomorrow

That should be replaced under warranty. How could they not? Just glad you were not driving down the interstate cruising along. Could have been nasty.

tell me about it, when we took it in to put more air in it, the guy yelled BACK UP, ITS GONNA BLOW!!!!! I high tailed it out of there and it sounded like a bomb. On the road, it went from having air in it, to NO air in about 15 seconds

I was going to suggest letting the guys at Discount Tire inspect this tire for you. If it's a factory defect, they'll be able to adjust it and get you a new one.

Unfortunately, there's also a high probability that this tire became seperated when you drove on it flat, and that's what caused the sidewall to burst when the tech aired it up. Without being able to see the liner of the tire, I can't tell you for sure, but the guys at Discount will be able to.

I would also suggest checking your valves (TPMS sensors). It is possible that this tire had a slow leak caused by improper seating of the valve. The rule is that any time the sensor is uninstalled and reinstalled in a new wheel, a sensor rebuild kit should be used (new grommet). I doubt that the dealer gave you new grommets, as they probably just installed the sensors straight out of the OE wheels. Be sure to check all of your valves with a little soapy water to be sure that they don't have any issues!

I love those rims. They look great.
Thats too bad about your tire though, but sure it'll be cover by warenty. Still a hassle though.
Great looking jeep.

that's intense. I would call BFG or your tire distributor and tell them what happened. They better give you another tire. that's crap.
