That tire did not blow out It was run flat and the weight of the rim broke/cut the sidewall plies. Your friends may have told you that it was flat but not soon enough. That is a perfect example of where a TPMS would have saved the day, and perhaps the tire.

Hmmm... this could be true, the side walls(what's left of them) were still on and were only a little off the ground. In other words, the side walls as seen in the picture were off the ground, the rim did not touch the ground or ride on the side wall. It is a 2 lane rode so my friends could only see from behind and this was the front tire of a 2 axle setup.
