My wife was driving Interstate 81 from Tennessee to West Virginia at 70 mph when her right front tire blew out. Two months prior to this we were driving approximately 40 mph on a back road and the left front tire blew out. These are Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season 275/55 R20, purchased approximately in August 2020, with approximately 40,000 miles.

WE PARKED OUR CAR IN OUR GARAGE AT ABOUT 11:30 AM. I WENT TO THE GARAGE AROUND 4PM TO GET MY WALLET AND THE SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. THERE WAS A SMALL AMOUNT OF GLASS IN THE CAR, AND MORE GLASS ON TOP. THE GLASS WAS CRACKED AND BOWED UPWARDS, LIKE IT HAD EXPLODED FROM THE INSIDE. THERE WERE NO CRACKS IN THE GLASS PRIOR TO THIS, NOR WAS THE TEMPERATURE BELOW FREEZING THAT DAY. NOTHING COULD HAVE FALLEN ON THE ROOF IN THE GARAGE. I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THAT MUCH DAMAGE TO THAT TYPE OF TEMPERED GLASS AND US NOT REALIZE IT. IT'S LIKE IT JUST BLEW UP FROM THE INSIDE, IVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.
