Had a tire blow out on the Beetle yesterday at 75 mph. Kind of exciting there for a minute or so. Brought it to a safe stop and changed to the donut spare (I hate those things and a full size won't fit in there). Shredded the tire but the rim was okay. Had to change it on the road as there was no shoulder and now where close to pull off. Way out in the toolies. Made sure to move off the road whenever a car did come by though. Full set of Michelin Defenders put on (225 /50 R17 slightly oversize but no issues), no one had the correct size.
Check your spares for proper inflation as mine was low. I carry a 12V pump though so no issues.
