Earl had a tire blister on the run before the failure. He did change the 
tires so the one's that failed were new. In hindsight Earl said he "should 
have known something was wrong" The car was actually most likely lifting at 
speed, this unloaded the rear and the tires then started to spin. Blisters 
next. Russ there are many ways to solve problems but you need to look at each 
case, As an engineer I'm sure you agree with this. This is not to say I don't 
want traction control, just that we (our car) doesn't need it. To each his 
own.
