Blow a tire going aprox. 140km/h
Driving today on hwy 407 (Toronto) I noticed some strange noise which gradually became quite loud. Pulled to the side of the hwy and my front left tire was flat. After replacing the wheel I noticed about 2" gasp on the sidewall of the tire. The experience was very amazing, my car did not pull, not significant vibration on the steering wheel, I could control my car all the time almost as nothing would happened. I've never experienced anything like this in my life so it hard to compare with behavior of different type of vehicles in such a situation, still, I thing my 2003 A4 1.8 TQ passed this challenge with mark of excellence. I'm under big impression how good I could control my car at relatively high speed just on 3 good tires.
