That will wake you up! Did you hit something or just suddenly blew out? You monitor tire pressures regularly?

Glad you're ok.

How fitting that at first glance "tubeless" looks like "useless"
Good job getting it stopped safely!

If never had a blow out, but rather a rapid deflation on the drivers front on my C63. That was only a shock as the center cluster turned red, and the TPMS was warning me.

I had my drivers side rear tire come apart (so not go flat, actually desintegrating...) at speed 75 MPH and it was a handful!

Glad you're OK!
