was kind of interesting, kind of scary. Our car started making a funny noise on the interstate while traveling around 75mph. I had heard the noise before once while I was driving a couple months ago, but it had gone away. While hearing it though, I kept thinking the tire would blow out. Never in my life have I had a tire blow out, but thats what I kept thinking of.
My fiance was driving, and we heard a louder noise. He gripped the wheel tighter was like "What the...?!?" We were in the left lane, I said "maybe a tire blew?" He said he thought so. We got to the shoulder and saw this:
(We took this picture after we got home).
The SCDOT stopped and had a jack and an aircompressor on their truck to get the lug nuts off and help put the donut tire on. Ironically, just yesterday Rob said "these Kuhmo tires are pretty good, I like them." AND I had been looking at that tire before we headed home from his job. Nothing seemed wrong, but it still grabbed my attention.
It wasnt AS scary as I always thought a blowout would be, but woo, I think any time I hear that noise I'll be prepared for the worst! Now we have to buy a new tire, ack. Always gotta be something!
