My "grossing 80,000" story thankfully ended much better this spring. My driver had been hauling liquid fertilizer I was streaming on corn from a river terminal where we load. 80 mile loaded trip down to this last 2 miles of gravel, as he was easing down it about 15 mph coming to the field to meet me the sidewall blew out! Of all the good luck to have! Ran if off the rim pulling over to the side so we wouldn't have the road completely blocked and so the tire guy could get at it to put a new one on. Only gave the fender a minor tweak, could have been so much worse...
