I too had an experiance like that. i was going down I-8 doing about 70 when boom my front left tire popped. The rim got bent out of shape and the tire was all over the interstate in a hundred pieces. Good thing there was no one near me when the tire popped. And the messed up part is that i was comming back from the shop where I had bearly bought them. so the next day i go back and tell the guy what happend. So they send the tire to the lab. I go back some days later and the said it popped due to underinflation. The man said there was nothing he could do, so i had to gou buy a 15 dollar goodyear tire. Oh well thats life i guess.
