had one blow out on me at 80 the front left it wasnt as bad as i thought it would have been. but that sucks, what caused it low tire pressure? bad tire?
Front Passenger blew out on me on the interstate as I was picking up some serious speed merging into traffic on the freeway.
And...it, WAS...as bad as I expected it to be.
For the most part, controlling it wasn't too bad...but a low profile tire on an 18" rim makes it REALLY tough. It rolled enough smoke to almost create a fire.
Other than that....
Sorry to hear, Boris.

Only blew one tire in my life at speed, at 121 in my Camaro. (stupid, young, but zero injuries or damage caused)
Never again have I gone a single week without thoroughly inspecting my tires.

I remember driving back from my old mans(about an hour and a half away), the car started vibrating when up to speed, at first I pushed in the clutch to see if it was rpm related(I thought maybe those honda kids got the best of my bottom end) but it was speed related, then I thought maybe a tire came apart, I pulled it over and did a walkthrough, couldnt see anything out of the ordinary, so immediately I thought it was a ujoint coming apart or maybe the carrier bearing, I got about another mile or two down the road when I decided that something is going to pop and leave me stranded, I stuck my head underneath the car to see if the driveshaft had any play in it when I noticed one of the rear inside tires was ballooned out yet it still held air! It wasnt showing coards or anything but the inner steel belt I guess broke apart inside and bubbled the tire on the inside. Through me for a loop for sure, Hopefully you didnt damage that badass rim. Sorry bout your bad luck bro.

Nah they are just flat spots now ahah. I got the rims checked and they ended up being fine.
ES100. I think because they were used before and the extreme stretch 225 on a 10" made it burst. <-- wasn't my choice for tire size I needed to get the car running. But I am ordering some 255's tomorrow. I currently have a set of 235's on there though.
i had one come part on me at about 80, it beat the shit out of my fender.
glad you're ok, ive seen cars blow tires and lose control and wreck.

damn dude, that sucks. Speaking from a guy that works with tires all day long (me) i wouldn't trust yoko's on my car...i just had 3 sets come back last week because they had bad hop in them, and they were $1100 dollar set's too. I had a set a few years ago that left me stranded and a $162 dollar tow bill. Good luck, glad it didn't mess up the ride

I thought you had 225's and thats why they blew?
SOB that aint just a blowout thats a complete sidewall failure, that is freaken scary. Were they low on air? that's what usually cause's the sidewalls to heat up degrade and let loose.
