Default pictures of my exploded tire....
link to original post with story at bottom.
btw...this was a RoadMaster tire that came on the car (I got it used). All four have been replaced with Dunlop SP Sport 5000's.

EDIT - I was going 75-80 (on the highway) when this happened.

Default I know...funny thing is....
when I first got out of the car and looked at it my first thought was "I hope there's no rim damage." Then I thought "Wow, I'm glad I'm still alive."
