Defective Tire

I've had the same problem from Dunlop 3 times with tires on our military vehicles. Our "tire rep" told us it was in fact a defect and gladly accepted the rest of our Dunlop inventory. These however were OLD tires and had been ordered many years ago. Granted the tires I'm talking about are a totally different league (10x20 and 9x20 radials) the same problem can occur with a smaller tire. He mentioned something about a bubble when the tire is molded causing it to split. At speed this causes the tire to literally rip itself open. Not fun when you are driving a 10,000 lb vehicle at 40 mph on the autobahn.
