I recently had a front right tire (Brand new Blizzax) blow out at 65 MPH +.=
 My concern is that it took me a good 1/4 mile to bring the car under contr=
ol and pull on to the hard shoulder. While gradually slowing I heard "groan=
ing / grinding" sounds coming from the gear box / differential. I assume th=
is was due to the much smaller rolling radius of the blown out tire compare=
d to the other 3. Has any one else experienced this ??? Did I damage the Qu=
attro system ??? Is there any thing I could / Should do ???

Thank You !!
