Just a reminder to change your front tires! > Video inside<<

Either fortunately or unfortunately, I grew up at a time when recaps were all I could afford on my cars and work trucks. To say the least, I picked up a lot of experience with blowouts and tires coming apart. Later on when I was racing vehicles that previous experience helped me deal with unexpected situations. I guess I learned not to panic, not to make quick corrections in the steering or braking, and just concentrate on maintaining a straight course and coasting to a stop. I guess my most memorable blowout was with my airplane. Loosing one of the two main landing gear tires while landing will get your attention in a hurry. I have had a tread separation on a rear dual with an RV but never had a blowout. Guess I'm just lucky. :B
