On da tow pig. And with no warning to boot.

When it let go, the tire cap beat the hell outta the side of the suburban, and I cleaned out the median and the ditch at lest 3 times each before I got it stopped. Thankfully, I was on a 4 lane, a 2 lane and it would have been toast. That is the closest I have ever come to rolling one, and I for sure don't want to roll one after this experience. I was looking out the right rear door glass a couple of times to see the direction of travel, lol... There were a few cars behind me and one older gentleman stopped to check on me. Said the rear tire was 2-3 feet off the ground a couple of times. Tire did not go flat, the center part of it bulged up, tire was about 9 inches taller than normal, very quickly...

No stains, sphincter was so tight, there was no leakage, lol...

And it is a quality name brand tire, the failure was strictly due to age, I knew better...
