a blowout at 90 mph fully packed & with family on board is NOT funny ....

Had a similar exerience less than 24 hours after picking car up, slightly slower being on a UK motorway, but scary enough. Was quite imppressed with how quickly car stabalised after the inital explosive deflation. Came to halt under moderate braking in a streightish line. Cost of new tyre an unexpected expence  Newbie to RRS

After 24hours on a new tyre - i hoped you put in a claim with the tyre company, yes they may have tried to blame something like a nail but its worth a try Mike

second hand car and not new tyres so no joy there... Newbie to RRS

agree, guess I just had bad luck.

bought a secondhand winterset on 20" stormers with Pirelli wintertyres. Dot code indicates reartyres are from 2008 (front 2011), therefore 5 years old. I have put on new rubber on both rearwheels and shouldn't have troubles anymore.

By the way it was quite amazing how the electronics stabilized the situation ! Even feel more secure in the car now  3.0TDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey, Almond premium, Diamond Turned Style 4
