    No, you're a slowpoke pain in the ### who ought to have tomahawk strike called in on them. You take I90 across south dakota once, if you honestly don't believe you can safely drive 80 across there in good weather, in anything, you shouldn't be allowed to drive an electric scooter at Wal-Mart.

    Blow a steer tire at 80 when loaded heavy and tell us how safe that speed is.

    Replace you're steer tires before they're that far gone, don't run over stuff in the highway, don't buy cheap "wish it was a tire" tires and you'll be fine. I see them all the time going 80 and you dont see very many in the median or off the shoulder, the ones you do see you know #### well werent going anywhere close to 80.

    A tire can go at anytime. Doesn't matter if it's a10 year old Chinese or 10 minute old Michelin. It can and does happen.

    Sure it can, what's the probability of a Michelin blowing compared to a cheap Chinese tire?

    Was he going 80, what did he have for tires, was he even paying attention to what he was doing? I don't know anybody personally who has had a steer tire blow on them and I know people who've been driving for 20 to 30 years, leads me to believe it's a very rare thing if you know what you're doing.
