When I changed my tube I realised the tyres had worn somewhat thin... When I checked my log it transpired they'd done over 5000 kms!!! So I changed them to Ultremo R's and got a blowout on the penultimate day of TdG Not looked at the tyre, as I replaced the wheel and haven't had a chance to change the tube yet, but will have a look at it tonight... May well be one of the defective tyres!!! Especially as they are only a few weeks old!
There's a thread about this with contacts on the Tritalk forum somewhere.
