Default flat tire

Got on the interstate and my front end felt loose so i attempted to pull over and i heard the harsh road noise.45 seconds later i get stoped and look. my rear tire is flat my tire man tells me my new goodyear f1-d3 is now a gooner. less than 5oo miles on it. o well guess thats the price you pay for z rated tires.

Damn Sonny, where did that happen? The tire looks o.k. from the pic. Is the wire hanging out somewhere or just a hole in it or what. I would think Goodyear has a warranty for something like this with only 500 miles on it.

Firestone WOs have road hazard, why not the Gyr? I know the FSWOs aren't z rated, but then I rarely travel over 140 for more than 10-15 minutes at a time on I-75.
