Default Tire blowout

lost a tire this weekend, I picked up a nail while out on the highway. Had ride on the flat for approx 500 yds to get out of the line of traffic. tire is a 591 dunlop with approx 1500 mi on it, I tried to plug it but to no avail. My friend that i was travelling with went and got his truck and helped home with it. Put the compressoron it but wouldnt take air I ended up putting a total of 5 plugs in the tire to try and get to my local dealer for changing. The question Im asking will dunlop cover any type of warranty on the tire.

You picked up the nail?
Why would Dunlop cover that (unless you bought the tire hazard insurance.)

There's no way that I'd ride on that tire again, replace it with a new one.

Also have them check the wheel, if you rode on a flat tire, the wheel is probably damaged it and will need to be replaced too.
If the rim is damaged, could be the reason the tire won't hold air.

Simple answer to your question, no.

That's a flat, not a blowout.

What type of rims do you have? Laced rims = tubes. Mag rims = tubeless.

Check your rim for damage, and replace the tire.

BTW..this is a blowout.
