Scary night (long)

[Abe Berman]

This happened on a long dark stretch of highway in the snow in VT to
me 3 years ago.  Same issue, I had noticed it on and off for weeks
before but couldn't pin down the culprit.  Externally the tire looked
fine.  Pretty nasty when it all came apart!  Try rotating tires to
isolate it maybe?

I will leave the story of breaking the jack handle for my hydraulic
jack (no factory jack in the $200 4kq) and the drunk AAA guy for
another day....

inspect your tire for delam'd belts and unusual wear on the tread
faces...this JUST happened to me on my VW....had a pocket in the
sidewall from broken belts and boy o boy was the tread all squished
together.
