Are you OK? The tire blowout looks scary.

That was my thinking when I saw it. I couldn't even call roadside assistance for a ride because I left my phone at the office
At least the wheel and tire warranty covers replacing all tires as needed. So I'll get at least two new front tires. And if the rear tread is low enough, they replace all four

Glad you're safe JAR. That's a pretty major blowout. Wonder how and why.

We promised to never speak of that again... She knew the risks...
I'm betting it's a flange. I may strip the whole rear this weekend and tighten/deaden some stuff.

It was actually gradual. Tire light came on first, so I was paying close attention. Within the next 1/8 mile I noticed the car pulling to the left. Within a 1/4 mile I started feeling the vibration and pulled over immediately. Only scary part was changing a tire on the side of a 75 mph highway. Normally, I would never even consider doing that. But having no phone didn't leave me with much of a choice. I had the tire changed and back on the road in about 10 minutes, so it wasn't too bad.

Ms. Pint beat you by 2 seconds.
Thank you for your support -- all of you.
