Tyre Blowout

Had a bit of a worrying experience yesterday.

Was driving along normally, then one of my tyres burst. Fucking shit myself.

Luckily it was at low speeds, but the worrying thing was I was drove to and from London (400 mile round trip) just the week before at excess motor way speeds on the same tyre.

Lucky escape? Any one else ever had this happen? :D

Heres a picture of the tyre, probally should have checked it out at some point before though :D

pretty lucky it didnt burst earlier, that tyre has much more km than its usual life.. should have changed it before..
i'm so tyred of these journals...
Did you get caught? 3 Points for each tyre..
Nah I drove it to the garage and had them all replaced like. I had no idea it was so bad though, it looked fine until you put the tyre on full lock and could see the whole thing.

lucky dude ;) but as it seems ur tyres lost the sense of the word 'profile' a long long time ago 8D
Wow those tires are waay over due to be changed... I had a tire go flat once on the highway, thankfully it wasn't a blowout, just gradual, still sucked cause I was late to my game XD
dude...
those tires were dangerous as fuck. you are lucky you didnt kill yourself on a rainy day.
in germany you'd be fined lots and lots of money driving around on such hardware and putting other people in severe danger.
