My tires are original to my 2007 3023 and have about 9K miles on them. DOT markings indicate that they were manufactured in week 40 of 2006 (4006). I did not see anything in the road that could have hit prior to the blowout.

mgoblue911, you said that you checked the tire pressure @ 63 psi each, but if they were the orginal Marathons, aren't they rated at a max. 50 psi?? Just wondering if the extra pressure may have contributed to the blow out.
