I won't argue the short life of the Dyna Torque. They were a cheap, rough riding tire on blacktop but the casing was plenty strong. On the Titan/Armstrong end we've had 2 Titan R1's the ripped in the sides and we had 2 Armstrongs that ripped in the sides. I had a set fo Titan R4 (skid steer) tires which I believe all 4 failed. We also had a variety of them on various size impliment tires and most of them failed. They all get to 5-7 years old and go boom. All were inflated correctly. When you get enough CaCl showers you'll know what I mean... The last set was a pair of 18.4-30's that came on a NewHolland TS90. One of them ruptured in the tread one day while plowing. I suppose those tires were balancing something like 11-12000# in that situation when it was carrying the plow... but it seems to me that they were 8 ply rated tires. Patched it that time with a blowout patch as the tires were only 2-3 years old at the time. The last time each one let got, the sides went out with about a 6" hole. Michelins cured that problem, and will likely cure all subsequent tire problems around here. Titan's have consistently failed on us long before they were near worn out. No other brand of tire has given us that kind of trouble. That should say something...
