went to pick brother up from airport on way home was doing steady 70 no more on motorway................
pulled out to overtake lorry hear a pop thought must have been summit on the road kept driving............
could smell tuna or summit hot kept driving.............
the pulled out to over take another car and was and back of car was all loose straight over to hard sholder
had flat, went to serch for spare never looked at it before.........had one not good tread tho, jacked it up and had the wrong size ratchet with it, 19 ml not 17!!!! services were only mile or so away so i pulled off in 1st to c if we could get there!!! no chance, jacked it up again and got rac out! while waiting was looking for puncture and found this.................
please excuse my vainey arm - lol
so u think it can be repaired????
i could not belive the pop was it blowing up, i we drove for 10mins about and was only at the end u could notice and that was only cos i pulled out to overtake someone, thought it wud have been scaryer when having blow out!!!!

^ you can suffer a blow-out from ANY tyre. Avon are a good brand, its just a case of bad luck/under or over-inflated tyre, debris in the road...list goes on.
