I can varify tire blow outs do major damage I'm direct repair for the majority of the large insurance carrier s and due three repairs a week just on bad tires..
I carry an infrared gun in the truck now thanx to my buddy Brodie Bettendorf's regime. We fuel every half tank on long trips and I shoot all tires and brake drums each time while stretching the legs and making people go..."WTF is he doing?!!"
Last year I found a drum/rim center 30* higher than the other 5 on a short haul, so watched it closely. When home, I pumped extra grease into it before our 2300 mile SoCal run early this year...all 6 were equal temps throughout the whole trip after more grease.
While this may not catch China bombs, it is respectable data for awareness IMO
That does make sense. catching something before it happens is always a good thought!
