    Sorry to hear. Hope you're getting on alright.

    Had a blowout on the front at 110Kmh years ago, terrifying.

    A couple of years ago I had a blowout on a front LH tyre while travelling at 110. But fortunately it was on flat country south of Griffith, with no traffic - in fact, by the time I had put the spare on and resumed travel nobody had come past.. No dramas, only damage was the tyre. I suspect that your problems largely came from the fact that it was downhill on a bend.

    Ruddy heck! Scary!

    To look at the pics, one would assume the driver bought it.

    I'm glad you came out of it relatively unscathed.

    I think I could write a song about that. Let me think...

    Ah!

    "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth...."

    Yep, I think that might go OK.

    Only just found this

    You and your sister are so lucky to to have your lives... Some one must be looking after you. That is a wake up call on tyres for sure. I've had a few blow over the years but have been lucky they didn't give out down hill on a neg camber bend. Just shows how tyres really do suspend our life.

    Hope you are all OK in time.
