tire blewout on freeway, question.

I got tires put on my rims, and when i was driving home, one of them blewout. When i exited to change it, i saw that there was no damage on the tire whatsoever. I was thinking since the tire is tubeless, maybe it was a seal? (if there was one). Any ideas on what happened. I'm going back to the place tomorrow to see what's up...

Mix up some dishsoap and water and spread it around the edge of the tire. Put some air in it, and if you get bubbles, then you'll be able to tell if it's the seal or the tire itself. It's probably just the seal, and a tire shop would be able to tell & repair it for you for a cheap price. Considering it's like 12-20 bucks CANADIAN around me for something like that, I wouldn't even bother checking with the soap & water. I'd just go get it fixed

if the tire "blew out" there would be damage on the tire somewhere, or do you mean the tire went flat?
