Re: Blowouts Reply #1 – August 28, 2023, 11:37:05 am As I've posted before, the video has a younger, trained driver just waiting for the planned blowout to happen. The vehicle is on a flat straight road. Why does Michelin not show a downhill blowout on a curve? Imagine stepping on the gas when in a left hand curve with the right front tire blowing out. The video below shows a more likely senario. This blowout went from nothing wrong to off the road in less than one second and this was on a flat and straight road. Now, let's take an older driver, speeding, perhaps on medication or late in the day, tired and not expecting a blowout to happen. Add in a downhill curve and the result could have been much worse than the video. Note that the guy in the video did NOT hit the brakes as noted in other versions of the video.I know that each one of us is just waiting for a phone call to be a replacement driver at the Daytona 500 but it may be time for a reality check. Keep the speed down, not like the guy in the video, keep the tires at the proper temperature and your chances of this happening drop way down.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SMk2Y8-hJEPierce Quote Selected 1 Likes
