Sorry to hear that Dennis.  Blowout at highway speed is bad enough; while
trailering even worse - was it front or rear?  Also, "BTB" is a new term to
me.  Not sure... Brake & Tire... Something?   The local tire shop I use is
very good about free rotations and free balancing for the "life" of the
tire.  I tend to do my own rotations, and haven't needed re-balance lately,
so admittedly I haven't tested their policy much.
