2013 Michelins go boom

I just experienced my 1st ever blow out
My OEM michelins were 4 years old and just shy of 11,000 miles
one went boom and caused quite a bit of damage. Nothing too serious but still a lot of trouble.
I bought the coach new and have been very careful about pressures. I've been watching and concerned because the tires were starting to crack prematurely. I didn't think they were quite to that point but I was wrong.

Turns out the inner tires still looked good.

Also, it was an outer tire that blew so it could very well have experienced a few curb kisses in it's life....

Replaced all 6 with Yokohama. Now I have to fix the tail pipe, mud flaps, and other misc damage....
