What a day

way. I got about 19 miles from Toledo, on the 80 Turnpike, and I heard what sounded like a tire going bad. Wasn't anything to do except slow down and keep going but a couple of miles later, my left rear tire blew out;  So, I knew it would be a pain but I got ready to change

Sounds a lot like a Charlie Daniels song.

I was driving home from Alberta after putting 30” swampers on my little toy yoda truck and had a stick rip out a sidewall without me even realizing it. I drove over 60 klicks at 110 k on sidewall stiffness alone. I only realized it when I took a corner (the only one in Saskatchewan) and the truck leaned way over. The sidewalls were heated up and there was a 4” gash on the inner sidewall but I had not noticed anything or heard the blowout. Course it was night but at least I had bought a matching spare and the cop following me was nice enough to light everything up while I changed it.
