Question:

what are my chances of my tire shredding again?

this weekend on the highway my back passenger tire shredded and I was curious what the chances are my other tires will also?

Answer:

Are these re-treads? Did you buy them at Wal-Mart? Are these 4 ply tires when your truck requires 10 ply? I'd say your other one will shred soon.
It will happen all the time if you don't put air in your tires. A partially flat tire builds up tremendous heat and the heat helps destroy the tire. You MUST check your tire air pressure every month and before going on a longer trip. You should walk around the vehicle ocassionally to check for a low tire. The same is true of the fluids in your car. Don't forget the spare tire. When you have a flat tire on the road, what does the road service guy need? A good tire fully inflated for your car and the tools to remove and remount it.
