“Goodyear eagle gt 205 45/r17 88v tires on a Mazda MX-5 grand tour, 2006. The tires had about 25000 miles on them with lots of tread left when the incident happened.

It appears like the wall and inner belt have separated and the rubber just becomes stressed and week and cracks. This could have resulted in multiple (possible all four) tires from going flat at the same time. …”
