Tyre??? Oh you mean Tire.

 

[TurtleCrusher]

I think he mean tyre.

Inferior spelling for an inferior tire.

I had a similar experience, but not as dramatic.

I was in some heavy heavy traffic in the left most lane (6 lanes over, including the exit lanes). My left tire suddenly went flat. By the time I merged over all 6 lanes and got off the exit (there was no shoulder), I had gone about 2 miles. My tire looked worse than yours. Luckily I was going slow enough to not damage the wheels.

I then I got to pull over and change my tired in hurricane-like weather. Fun times.

 

[Sea Moose]

I need a full set of tires now :S

 

[Newbian]

Are you sure a drop bear didn't make love to the tire?

It's common here to be offered a replacement warranty(~$15/tire) when you buy the tire.

 

[Sea Moose]

Wow i have never been offered tire insurance bfore

 

[jlee]

Ouch.

 

[Schadenfroh]

That sucks, glad you are OK. I bet that was scary.

 

[waffleironhead]

why do you need a full set? unless they are dry rotted, you should be able to just replace 2.

 

[daw123]

I bet that was brown trouser time.

Good to hear that you're ok.

 

[SunSamurai]

That sucks. Its pretty fucking scarey to do that at 70. My transmission fell apart at 70 in an old truck I used to own. CLUNK SMASH!!.

I'm very interested in what it takes to trip your circuit breaker...and I definitely volunteer to test the system...


Moose, glad you're ok. IMO, Cooper is actually a mediocre tire brand. Not great, but not crappy either.
Around here, it's tough to buy a set of tires without them pushing their "road hazard warranty" on you.

I remember that happening on a bus I was on. It was like a very loud POW sound. If anyone is sleeping when that happens they're wide awake after!
