Has happened to me on 75 here in Dallas, going 110+ against a GSR and all of a sudden saw something in the road, slammed on breaks, locked up front wheels and put out a cloud of white smoke that covered the entire southbound side of the hwy. It was so bad that it took the tires(which were no more than 2 weeks old at the time) down to the steel belts.I was able to get within one block of my house before the drivers side blew. Sucked ass too.
