“100 MPH?”
Your Guardian Angel is a fast flier!
Glad there was no accident!

Thank the Good Lord above you didn't lose that tire! Especially at those speeds!

Yeah, going that fast wasn't too smart looking back at it. I've only been that fast twice in my life and both times were due to my wife and medical issues. I normally drive within 5 mph of the speed limit.

Whew! Thank God for that!
I went in and had my tires rotated at big-o once and they called me out to look at something.
one tire was split like that only on the backside where there was no way to see it. Almost a complete circle.
It was one of the "Big O brand" which I'd had good luck with in the past, but they are made only God knows where from year to year, probably china. I asked the manager if it was the chop sticks on the inside causing the issue and his subordinate cracked up.
These days I try to go with a "Name brand" when I can, figuring they might try less hard to kill you.

Scrub, I think I would go out and buy a lottery ticket. You certainly were lucky.
We had a guy go underground at the mine to inspect it before 3rd shift 1 night. He was driving in and then called out and said that he thought there had been a roof fall since he felt a gush of air. come to find out he was right. If he was around 5 seconds later it would have been a different story.
