Some foreign car driving dude
blew a tire, spun around, barely missed a semi, slammed into a guard rail, bounced off, and spun into a ditch.
That was me, btw.

Damn. You alright?
Wow, that blows? Part out then I guess?
Bozzio for president.
Yea, I am. My buddy has a concussion from slamming into the dash. I tried to warn him with a few yells of, "GUARD RAIL!!! GUARD RAIL!!!!" But it didn't work...Originally Posted by 81911SC

Wow sorry buddy! Glad you are ok!
glad ya'll are alright
This thread makes me glad my tires are pretty new. Everytime I think of blown tires I think of that video that showed how some companies sell tires that have sat on the shelf for as long as 14 years. Would be interesting to see the datestamp on the tire that failed on you.

Tires over 8 years of age are prone to failure by blowout.

IIRC, it would actually read 362 in your example. They started using 4 digits after 2000.This thread makes me glad my tires are pretty new.

Sorry about the bad luck, glad to hear you're okay.
I hate to sound like a complete jack ass, but I've driven on tires that were much worse than these and it was fine. Now these tires weren't bald, but no doubt they were old... which is what I think got me.
I'm not dodging the fact it was my fault, but IMO it goes into the "shit happens" category. I do feel like a jackass for not acting on my instinct, though. The car picked up a VERY SLIGHT vibration about 10 minutes before the accident and I didn't pull over like I felt I should.
Like I said though, it is my fault, not denying that
and thanks for the kind words guys.
