    Honestly, when it happened I was pretty much freaking out.
    I've had terrible luck since I got my ZHP.

    It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

    Not unreasonable. If it blew, you can't change it on the side of the road. And since trucks have so many tires, one blowing out won't force a stop... it can keep going.

    Unless the blown tire is the front tire Dario....

    Unfortunately some truckers use retread tires which tear apart like what you had described OP. Sorry this happened to you....I ran into a similar situation last year on the Jersey Turnpike on my way south when driving my ///M.... fortunately I was able to avoid all the debris from the blown tire. The semi kept on going since the blown tire was in back...

    No matter what, it sucks...

    I've seen it happen, luckily far enough ahead... To give them the benefit of the doubt, I'm not sure they notice it ???

    The noise from when the tire blows is insane. But this is why I avoid driving next to big trucks.

    Usually I pass them as quickly as possible but I had someone box me in next to the truck driving below the speed limit in the passing lane.

    Filed a claim with my insurance and it looks like they would be willing to cover it. But given my deductible I might as well do it myself for cheaper.
    Figure I can deal with a few paint chips on my side skirt until I go for a full repaint on my car later

    +1 and I speed by like noted above. Had one blow next to me years ago on the interstate. A memorable event #skidmarks
