A "blow out" of a thanksgiving trip!
Part 1.. We had our first blow out on the road last week. (We were on I-75) Not too much damage down below, maybe because I stopped immediately as I knew exactly what had happened and I was only going...

Another option for all of us to consider when travelling on the freeway is to slow down and proceed until you can find a real wide pullout or take a ramp down to the surface streets. Stopping on the shoulder is very hazardous, far outweighing the slight risk of proceeding on the remaining axle. I retired from the California Highway Patrol and can recount numerous tragedies that involved vehicles stopped on the shoulder when they actually could have moved to a safer spot. So, not offered as a criticism but just a thought from a safety perspective.
