[DeTomaso] Drag radial blow out today on interstate (Temp A tire)

[clay willmott]

35 psi and I check it a  lot (within last week).

Visually checked it before I left.  I have those PIM rims and I need an ugly back up wheel and tire.
what is a cheap wheel/size I can use for a front or black blowout?
what if the two rear tires are slightly different sizes?  Will it mess up the rear end/limited slip or ZF?  WIll those skinny OEM spares work with my 17 inch wheels without screwing up rear end?

Thanks
CW

It's amazing an idiot like that AAA guy works with cars!



Temp A is the highest, best rating!

FWIW I'd be curious to know what kind of tire pressure you were running (or thought you were running) before the failure?   Failures like yours that aren't caused by an external insult (i.e. nail in the tire) are almost always caused by severe underinflation....
