I don't see the connection between flexing and blowouts. Of course
a sidewall is going to flex more. Hit a bump in the road, it flexes.
Cornering it flexes. The sidewall carry the load of the car, the treads
do not.

On radial tires all the pressure is on the sidewals. If you blow a plug on a sidewall all the air will rush out, instant flat, and at 60MPH that could pose a problem. In the tread a blown plug and the air will come out, just not all at once.

Which is better? AAA or AARP - they are very close to same price?
 
TIA
