Because tires are a maintenance item I assumed that damage from a blow out would not be covered by insurance?
I never heard that one. :h
GEICO says no problem...
Yes, the damage could have been much worse. The forces involved were huge as evidenced by the twisted steel bar. The heavy rubber mudflap obviously took the brunt of the explosion and probably prevented additional damage.
I will never know if I possibly hit some debris in the lane... I don't think so but there is no way of knowing. As noted, the tires were inspected and aired up by Discount Tire that day before.
:C
