I have a couple of tire 'blow out' stories, but this one is the best. My first one was when I was 17 working 2nd shift 10:30 at night, in a gas station-back before self service. A guy came in off the interstate with a low LF tire, would I air it up for him? Tire was hot, so not knowing any better, sure--ok, it's up to 32psi now, oh, you want a little extra to get home, ok I can add more if you like. About that time-BOOM- tire blew out in my face, threw me backwards onto my back. As I laid there a moment a cop pulled up-he had been driving past when the tire blew and thought I was being robbed, and had gotten shot. Never getting out of his cop car, and seeing I was not dead, he left! Almost the same time one of the owners pulled in, drunk, asked what happened? Still shook up, I told him, and never getting out of his car, he yells, Sell him a new tire! And he leaves! Glad you're all worried about me, and so I put the guys spare on for him, probably charged him $2.00. Mark.
