M25, 70mph(ish), puff of smoke and it's all over.



I would also like to publicly apologise to the helpful samaritan who pulled alongside me, wildly gesticulating. Unfortunatel, bieng blissfully unaware of the sitution developing, I gave him the reply I reserve for all people who pull alongside me and wildly gesticulate in my direction. Sorry mate :o

Thats a beauty, it looks like quite a new tyre as well. At least you came out of it ok.

Well well well, this would certainly account for 19mpg:D

Glad to hear you are OK though!
I bet you wished you were wearing a "Tenor lady"

NEXEN tyres - never heard of them until I saw that photo, and on that basis I don't think I'll be buying any, ever!:D

That blowout is caused by sidewall flex overheating. pressure must have been really low
