Default yep. heard a loud pop, and the car started pulling heavily to the right. coasted off the freeway

luckily the tire didn't start falling apart, and I'm glad i invested in a full size spare, back on the road in probably 10 minutes. but I've determined that I definitely don't like the looks of black wheels.

That's very fast for a blowout! Glad you're alright!

Default I have never had a blowout!

now I've jinxed myself, but I've seen two on the same stretch of I25 in the past 6 months.
