The first one blew and I put the spare on.  I was almost to the off-ramp so
I could head back home when the other side blew.

Actually I wasn't going 65 mph for the second blowout, maybe 55?

I have a pic somewhere of the tire...  The tires were 10 yr. old Michelin
XZXs with about 10K on them but they were weather-checked.
