Ok, have any of you had any kinds of issues with toyo tires? I know most guys on this forum roll Michelins and I may be switching soon. I have a situation where I had a blow out, but didn't notice until I stopped after smelling rubber. I didn't think it was me until I got on a road by myself and I kept smelling rubber. I check and there is nothing in the tire, nothing I can see that punctured the tire yet it went flat. Looking at the tire, it looks like the inside bead gave out. I was lucky I didn't damage the rim. Very lucky, but my question is, have anybody else had this problem? It don't look like the tire was rotten, but I don't see anything else that could have caused this flat. I went with Toyo because I was told it was a great tire. Plus they are the only one's I know of that makes a 315/25/20... I had 305/25/20 on there at the time of the blow out, but I've never seen anything like this before....

The latest on the tire. Nothing found in the tire to make it go flat. I did find cracks around the back edge of the rim. I was told that you shouldn't weld a rim because it makes it weaker. But after doing some research I found out it's ok to weld the rim as long as the cracks are on the inner back side of the rim near the back/inner lip. I'll post pics later. Because Vossen has discontinued that wheel, I can't buy a new replacement. I wonder if my camber adjustment had anything to do with the cracks in the inner rim? Now I need research camber kits now, for the front and back... Any ideas?

By the way, What brand should I get? I see allot of brands of camber kits. I need the front and back, well I know for a fact I need the rear, but the front, I'm not sure if the camber can be corrected with just a alignment...
