This does not fall under the 'what I did to my Z' (edit: probably does fall under "what I did"), but nonetheless, it happened.

Blowout.

not sure, but it's not the yok advan or BS 050A, or BS S04, or DW's.

it's not an asymetric tire which is part of the problem imho... add low pressure and you got weak inner sidewall.

Stock tires. Needed replacing soon regardless. Live and learn.

My negligence might have exacerbated the situation. (I kept seeing the damn tire light, but procrastinated to the fullest.)

Note: Also, it didn't help that I had few nails in there. Haha.
