Waiting on photos, and fortunately no one was hurt other than sourness form seat belts.

I have not heard of any blowouts with a 365 tire... I think they are much safer and also have a higher rating on weight and speed. Knowing I have 365s gives me a piece of mind.

We have new 365 tires all around, but I'm sure a blowout could still happen. Glad to hear from a gal on this post. I have a feeling I'll become a driving machine too. Sure appreciate all the comments regarding my post!

I think this is the guy. Cindy was going to learn but the day she had scheduled it was raining pretty bad so she didn't.

So do you drive the coach now Susie?
Cindy might try and schedule Glenn for a lesson after we leave the rally.

I have to wonder if any wife has experienced a front tire blowout on an interstate.

It may not be the same however I know of a gal who was an interior decorator for a prevost converter that had a right front blow out going over the sky bridge in clearwater fl. She nor the coach got hurt. Not sure if it's a fair compairision.
