Ive had 3 blow outs on a cossie, all on the rear.

1st@140mph....didn't even known it had gone till i went to over take
2nd@70mph on the M6 & nearly took the whole motorway out & bent the car
3rd doing a 7k launch whhel came off the rim

Think it would be scary in a FWD car thou, not having no control.

1st on a front tyre in a 3i, was a bit wierd as I didnt have clue what had happened as the car just went all over the road.

2nd was a rear on my merc sprinter, nailed it into a roundabout to head stright on and the rear outside tyre blew, came off the roundabout totally sideways doing about 60 mph and though the thing was gonna tip over. Shit myself at the time
