I had a Dunlop American Elite come apart on me while I was doing 70 MPH on the interstate with wife on the back.

I have a pretty good idea of what brand tires I bought. They are/were Dunlop American Elites and the tire was brand spanking new. Any more questions?

OK fine, I guess you know more than me, Dunlop rep, insurance rep, J&P Cycles and everybody else. This is why I try to stay off the Internet more these days, there's so many self-proclaimed experts. Forget it.

If I had to guess since it's not specifically explained in the post, perhaps that's a shot of the inside of the tire?
