So I was driving home minding my own business when......

[peteablard]

BANG! A little bit of a wobble in the middle lane but managed to get over to the hard shoulder ok.
Not what I wanted an hour into a 4 hour journey!

Glad you're fine mate - some blow outs can be nasty.

Was it a front or rear tyre?

 

[Fliselege]

Well done getting the car off the road

 

[peteablard]

Rear, near side which meant I didn't have to be too close to the traffic while changing it!

 

[Dan]

And you'd have been able to brake a bit. It's a nightmare when it's the front and you have to burn off speed slowly or take a bit of evasive action up the old grass verge next to the hard shoulder.

Went through cones once as a front went on me, that didn't have make my arse do the old 50p 20p 50p 20p 50p 20p lol

No, Renault Trafic. Or at least I hope so. Maybe you're right Dave and that's what went wrong:lol:

That's the inside of the wheel......

Just a similar wheel pattern to the connect.
