Ive had 3 compass standard casing tires (barlow, steilacoom) tires blow out on the sidewall just from...wear and tear? Including today far from home. I keep my bike outside, so they get sun, but they were not tears from gravel or anything (never had a normal flat on my compass tires in NYC or riding trails...just these sidewall blowouts). Moving on to something more sun-worthy for my commuter.
