What the??? My tire blew out!

[lizbids]

Just to add my opinion here...
When I went on a long tour this summer, most people dealing with flats had Kevlar beads that would fray and puncture the tube. Has anyone else noticed this?

Yesterday I came home to a UPS box from Maxxis sitting on my front porch. No email sent telling me my warranty had been approved, no reason it took so long, no indication these were coming and no note in the box saying anything about them. Just a blue Detonator for me and an orange one for DH. How odd. But I guess they confirmed what we suspected and this a tire malfunction? Or maybe they just wanted me to be happy.

I should note that the Detonators we have on our front tires are still in great condition after 1,400 miles running at 115-120 PSI over fresh chip seal and gravel and rough railroad tracks. There is no way out of my town that avoids any of this (except the 120 PSI). All is well and Miranda is getting a new back tire to match the front one.
