Interested in the blow out that totally disintegrated the tire. Could it be it was chewed up running on it after it blew? The Tyron keeps the rubber under the rim edge(in theory) while you slow down so the rim does not cut it up going across it. and your rim doesn't get chewed on the pavement. I believe slowing down without braking may be the pearl of the whole discussion. Videos show blow out not even resulting in turning of the vehicle after blow out with tyron but how quickly they applied brakes is not obvious.
I lost a rod at 3/4 track at Indy time trial. Took out left front Moroso tire. Slowed without braking hard and it went straight. Tried to brake it wanted to go to guard rail. Crossed the finish line 114 on blown tire. Tire was not off the rim. Lucky.....
I will post later about dealer for the Tyron close by....
