I just bought my used 05 s2k a month ago. It had 9k miles on stock tires. Last sunday, I experienced a right rear tire blowout on a major highway at 60+ miles per hour. And yesterday, coming back from California to Las Vegas, I blew out the right front tire at 70+ mph. WTF?!?! Are the stock Bridgestone Potenzas known for this. The tires blew out along the sidewalls. I am worried, so I am going to replace the remaining tires today....

Thoughts?

Nothing wrong with potenzas, *used* take them off and look. 3 yaesr is the limit or well beyond for most of these cars.

figured it may be the age. they looked flawless. However, they are definitely being replaced tonight.

That shouldn't happen... what tire pressures were you running?

i would also suspect tire pressure. also do you understeer a lot? my buddies and i kept trying to make a non-sti automatic wrx drift, and a couple weeks later his tire blew in the same way

A 2 psi difference is not going to blow your tires.

It's possible you might have hit something on the roadway to cause your blowout.
