Er, I just poked around the internet on tire separations.
Forget the whole "thank goodness I wasn't majorly inconvenienced" thing. Seems I was incredibly lucky that I did not, in fact, lose control of my car when the tire separated on the freeway.
Whew.
nasty stuff. glad you're OK.
ReplyDeleteTrue confession time...
ReplyDeleteI somehow managed to let things slide to the point where the car's inspection had run out, along with registration. Inspection was an impossibility, as I knew the tread had been getting thin on the front tires. Took it to the tire place and was shocked to discover a situation similar to yours, bilaterally. Shocked because I drive fast, I drive hard and I take no prisoners. And was about three feet into a six foot hole of my own making.
BTW, this wasn't in the dim, dark past. This was last week!
Hugs and kisses,
wil
I'm glad you're okay!!
