Went to Norwich Tire with a 36 inch Jeep Tire. On the way home, on Rt2 traveling about 72 mph I blew a tire. Those damn Savaro tires are junk. This is the second one that blew. This tire was on the rear passenger side inside time. It rapped around the tail pipe and bent it in half. I made it home and pulled the tire. Cut the exhaust, BTW it's some sort of cheap stainless steel. The exhaust seemed loose so I check the pipe. It's disconnected from the cast iron pipe that comes down from the turbo. The only good thing is, now I have no back pressure and can hear the turbo whine like never before. Looks like I will have to replace the cast iron insulated pipe from the turbo, the bolt ears are gone. Also replace some exhaust. Damn 
Good evening everyone.

Does the tire have a warranty that covers wrecking your Jeep.
Does your driver's policy cover the damage without getting into the deductible as it wasn't your fault?
Are those 36" tires rated for 72mph?
I know the 19.5" rim 35.4" tires I want for my van are rated up to 75mph, after that I'm on my own.

Finished working under my hood for tonight. I'm glad to say that my issue did in fact end up being the UVCH plug. 50 cents, a couple of hours of my time and the issue will never happen again. Of course the sky opened up as I was about to bolt back on the air filter so I'm not technically done yet. I'll finish it later tonight or tomorrow morning then take her for a test drive. I feel so dirty right now. Shower time, then dinner.
Ray & Aaron, what time you gonna be at the shop tomorrow? I will plan on stopping down for a visit.
