Remember that tire we had patched yesterday? Well, it literally exploded on us just now!  The air pressure was fine, and the tread was just fine, but it blew out the entire sidewall where the patch was made.......HA! Been awhile since we watched the sun set from the shoulder of a highway! LOL

Just tuned in and didn't get a good feeling when I saw the snowman image from the side of the highway:( And you were just saying "At least we're not on the side of the highway this time" when it first happened. Sorry about the bad luck - hope they get you on your way soon.

Is that tire a "super single"?

Wow! I've never seen a successful sidewall repair. I'm surprised they even attempted that.
