    I've found with most "customer service" if you get a ripe shit head on the phone the first time, call back again and get someone else. Sometimes you get connected to a few real assholes to get someone who will glady help you any way they can. Goes for about any company I've ever had a product/service issue with.

    Order your tires through the local Discount Tires, they price match treaddepot for me and they warranty it as well.

    also I've never had a problem with AAA, they are well worth the money in my opinion. Ive never heard of them not answering.

    I used to "adjust" tires at a shop. It's just a term used to calculate the percentage of tread left to figure the customers replacement price. Tires blow for all kinds of reasons. I saw some pretty bizarre things sticking out of flat tires. The Ops tire looks like a bona fide defect. Kinda scary.

    What is considered to be a proper jack? The big floor jacks you would have in your garage? I have one of those but they are so heavy I'm not sure if I want to be driving around with it. Or would a hilift work? Serious question LOL I want to know for the future when I lift my truck

    This reminds me of the Firestone blowouts that happened a few years ago. Definitely seems like a defect. Hopefully, it was limited to that one tire and not an entire production run.

    Wrecked!
    I hate TOYO. I have had three sets of different toyos and all of them had issues. two sets cupped after less then 20k and one set I had a defective one and les shawb woulnt cover it even though I purchased it there and there road side issurance, they only gave me 50% off a new one even though it only had a few 1000 miles on it.

    Taller bottle jack or a hilift if you have sliders/plate bumpers to hilift off of.

    Just some blocks like a 6x6 or some board and your bottle jack is good for road use.

    I carry blocks that could be used for that but its much safer to get a taller jack and leave the blocks tire chocking

    That would be a catastrophic tire failure! Glad you're okay. Very dangerous situation to have a blowout at speed.

    True. But I'm too cheap. Usually I have boards or 6x6's in the bed for dropping a trailer too. Stacked board is still safer than a Hi-Lift.
