Horrible blowout story

So I have a civic si with aftermarket rims and had my first blowout yesterday on an old back road. It wasn't dirt thank goodness. There were no shoulders but I think God smiled on me. I had it in front of a church and it was the only place within miles to park. So I get out to change it and the idiots who put my rims on did not give me my lug nut adapter back. I looked through the parts and I had a deep well lug nut adapter and the star/locking lug adapter. I am 15 miles from any town because I had been fishing and had to get my wife to come get me. Long story short, I go to autozone and get a breaker bar and socket and nearly 2 hours later I get home. Sucky end to an ok day.

Could have been like me. One day I was out and a knot pop out on the sidewall of my tire ont he rear drivers side. On the way back to town to get a new tire the rear passenger tire blew out. Talk about having a suck ass day.

I wonder when tweel tires are actually going to be manufactered and distributed universally.... Hopefully no long.
