I have heard many people say they heard and felt a trailer tire blow....others can't see or hear any problem.
Well I can say for sure that when that semi went whizzing past me and blew a tire I heard it before I started seeing pieces flying out. I was braking before he signaled to cut over and onto the shoulder. I was just discussing my dislike of driving next to big trucks because so many have retreads and tire parts litter all the freeways. I wondered what would happen to other vehicles next to, behind when the tires blew. Now I know and I am glad that I drive well under the speed limit so they do move past me quickly.
OTOH, if the sound is behind not sure what a person would hear.
