I have to agree with you, BUT, although they may be failing it may not be visible to the eye when you are looking at your tires daily. You might do a search on the issues JRTJH found on his tires (he posted pics). Thankfully he saw the issues, developing INSIDE the tire, and was able to replace them. I am certain when they failed, as they would have, they would have looked just fine on the outside. As a side note; I personally have had a very good tire go from OK to "shredded" so it actually does happen.....unfortunately, it was a 1/4" set of steel plate chocks used on a pulling rig that had fell off in the road that could not be avoided at the speed I was traveling....
BTW, it then flew up, hit the driveshaft and bent it as well (1/2 ton truck). I didn't know about "China bombs" then but I bet that was the cause.
