I had a major sidewall blowout last week. I'm happy to say it happened while airing up not riding. About the same time I needed to get the leaves off the lawn and into bags. As I was looking around the garage for something to hold the leaf bag open I found the blown tire. A few cuts and some duct tape and this tire is resurrected with a new use...

Did you have any ride cuts that weakened the sidewall? Or were you going for 80+ psi? 8-)
There was a little shimmy in the tire. I thought I was doing the right thing to make sure the bead was seated. There must have been a quirk in the side wall. I only got to about 60psi when it blew. The good news is my leaf bags stay open at Zero psi now thanks to the wire bead :o)
Thats what I call recycling
