I got two blow outs last night while driving the wifes car.
Coming off the motorway i hit some thing in the road.
Did not see what it was but both of my offside tyres and alloys are shot.
The car had to be RAC Collected and i now have the car in being repaired

Bet that was real scary. Was there a point when you lost controll? or did you manage to stop relativly safely??

Never had a blow out myself.

That sounds really scary - could it have been a rock or something? Glad you weren't thrown off the road or something, and its only the wheels that need replacing.

Thanks guys but everyone is fine Really not sure what we hit but the car will have both offside wheels and tyres replaced.

Not sure how long it will be in being sorted or whether it needs any suspension looking at after the wheels are fitted.

Lucky will were coming off the motorway so doing around 40-50 but would off been doing 70 had it been 2 minutes earlier, can't say i was scared as i am a Outlaw:lol:
I got a C5 so i been throwing all the garage rubbish into it then dropping it off down the tip, beat using your own car:wink:
