This happened a couple of months ago. Our shop is about 1500 sq. ft., and it is about 50 yards from my parent's house. The shop was closed, and my dad was cutting grass up at the house. He had on earphones listening to a ballgame on the radio. He said he head a loud explosion from inside the shop. My mom was inside the house, and she heard it too. My dad went inside the shop expecting to find something destoyed or on fire. He didn't notice anything abnornal at first, until he saw that my car was leaning over. He walked around the side and noticed that the front tire had exploded. The next day I went over to survey the damage. The tire had completely separated at the very top ( the worst place), and there were chunks of rubber everywhere. It did did a fair amount of damage to my fender. The car had been sitting there relatively untouched for about 4 months. I guess it is a good thing I wasn't down there.

Have any of you ever heard of anything like this?
