Tire Issues

Having a tire blow out on your car is a pretty bad event in itself, but what makes matters even worse is when it happens on I-94. Thats what happened to me today. I was going down 94 almost to Telegraph when all of the sudden I heard my tire blow and saw smoke billowing from the right side of my car. Thankfully there were not many cars near me and I was able to get it over to the right side of the road. Then came the hard part...changing the tire. Prior to today, my tire changing experience was sitting at a solid one time. Well, I never thought that my second time would occur in a place where cars and trucks were buzzing by at 70 mph. I called my Dad and he told me to just change it. Alright...I'm not sure how. Of course he said I would be fine and so I changed it. To make my luck even worse, last night was the first night it had rained all month! That was great. It was wet and windy, but I got it changed successfully. I didn't feel very safe on the spare tire, though.
